EVERY TEN YEARS, the Fae steal humans for a single reason: the Verdant Trials.
Win, and you're granted immortality. Lose, and your soul becomes fuel for the fae realm.
19-year-old noblewoman Odette never asked for this fate. Torn from her gilded cage and thrown into a brutal, magical game, she's forced to fight for her life in a realm ruled by beauty, cruelty, and lies.
Her only ally? A scarred, brooding fae from the Dark Court: tasked with training her, tormenting her, and maybe... protecting her. But trusting him could be more dangerous than the Trials themselves.
As Odette uncovers the twisted truth behind the games, she faces an impossible choice: win, and become the very monster she fears. Or lose everything trying to burn the system down.
Let the Trials begin.
⚠️ High-stakes romance. Deadly fae politics. Found power. Enemies-to-lovers tension. Morally grey choices. And a girl who might just destroy their world before it destroys her.
