THE HIERARCH IS DEAD. THE TRIALS BEGIN.

For the first time in history, a Witch is allowed to compete.

 

Evy is the Queen of the Witches, a people long dismissed as inferior and unnatural. When years of fraught political negotiations finally force the Council to permit her kind to compete in the sacred trials of the Hierarch Wars, Evy seizes the chance to fight for her people’s seat at the table. The victor gains absolute authority over the realm’s source of energy—a power the Council has guarded for centuries.

 

But the invitation is a trap.

 

If Evy fails, she confirms the world’s prejudices. If she wins, she becomes a threat the Council must eliminate. To protect her people, Evy must navigate a razor-thin line: prove the Witches’ strength without claiming the crown that would paint a target on her back.

 

To survive the trials, Evy must prove worthiness—without shattering the world order.

 

A task far harder than winning the Hierarch Wars themselves.
