Vengeance is within my grasp—if I can survive the trials.
After six brutal months of training, I’ve earned my place in the lethal Order of Ezkai—the first human in history to do so. The Ezkai General himself had plans for me, and I was ready to climb the ranks until I had the power to end King Franci’s life.
Then the General is assassinated.
Chaos consumes the Order. A new leader must rise, and the only way to claim the title is to survive the deadly trials. One victor. Everyone else dies.
An unlikely ally offers me a path to the throne, and I know what I have to do. Win the trials. Take the power. Use it to destroy my enemies.
But nothing in Ekios is ever simple.
The man I love has entered the trials too—and in the end, only one of us will walk away.
