The death of the High King’s only son initiates the King Trials; demanding the eldest pureblood from each Regnum. Aurora, the estranged and bastard-born daughter of Regnum Valwa, is the only female among eight other Herems. One of noble blood who lived her life in destitution, with her mother and her ill-stricken father and brother. She is blood-bound to compete in the King Trials on the bargain that if she represents Regnum Valwa, her father and brother will receive the treatment they so desperately need.

However, this is no easy feat, she is faced against ruthless rivals, dangerous mythological beings and creatures, forced to fight in bloody duels with an onslaught of death-defying challenges that forges a woman into a warrior; a scoundrel into a soldier. A chronicle of duty and bravery, a story brimming with riveting action, an enemies-to-lovers romance with war-provoking betrayals that reveal they are all pawns in a much larger game.

It feels good to be in my old clothes; they were returned to me clean. They feel a lot heavier than I remember. The Avangard soldiers are fully armed with light infantry. Their armor gleaming a vibrant red, fortified with slender plating. Before we left, Green Earl Moray's messenger sent word from his scout. Confirming that the Einere region of my homelands are all untouched, as is what I expected. Outbreak or not, it cannot have spread as far as Armathis in such a short span.
