Synopsis

"Destiny is an ancient calling, one that cannot be silenced or be ignored. Your destiny calls out to you, Aurora. And one day, you will be ready to answer it."

***

The death of the High King's only son initiates the King Trials; demanding the eldest pureblood from each Regnum. Hera Aurora is the only female among nine other Herems. She must fight not only to win for the sake of her Regnum but to prove her worth to all who undermine her because she is a woman. However, things take an unexpected turn when she attracts the eye of the Commander that is tasked to oversee the Trials.

Aurora finds that the other purebloods are not her only obstruction or distraction. The realm of Urium is rife with discord, anti-monarchist factions growing, inciting rebellion across the nine provinces. Despite it all, a greater peril looms over the realm, revealing that the King Trials are not what any of them fathom. All of them but pawns in a much larger game.
