Kael
The kingdom of Eryndor glittered beneath twin moons, its marble towers rising above black forests and silver rivers that whispered with old magic. But beneath the beauty lived hunger, fear, and the shadow of the Trials—an ancient yearly punishment where ten tributes were chosen to survive deadly tasks crafted by the crown. Few returned unchanged. Most never returned at all. King Kael had only recently claimed the throne after his father’s death. Young, ruthless, and unreadable, he ruled with a silence sharper than any blade. His people called him the Iron King. He rarely spoke, never smiled, and trusted no one, yet whispers spread of how fiercely he protected the kingdom from enemies beyond the borders. Beneath the coldness was something unbreakable.

Now she was being thrown into a game.
