Synopsis

A heart-pounding romantasy following a rebellious princess who must compete to the death against her siblings for the crown, while fighting her feelings for her country's most powerful enemy.

Revna is no stranger to struggle. As the only member of the royal family without a magical ability, she is seen as a blight on her bloodline. But when her two closest friends' lives are put in danger, she is determined to save them by any means necessary, no matter the cost.

The Bloodshed Trials - a competition where the last sibling in the royal family standing takes the throne - might just be the ultimate price.

When she is kidnapped by the mysterious and terrifyingly powerful Hellbringer, the general of her country's greatest enemy, Revna learns that there are others who have their own reasons for wanting her on the throne.

But Hellbringer is her only hope of defeating her powerful siblings. Despite the spark between them, can she really trust him?
