A cursed nation on the edge of ruin. A deadly ritual with no survivors. A princess fighting to defy fate.
Lia, princess of Locris, must end a centuries-old curse that dooms her desert homeland. Forced into Ilion’s brutal tribute race, she becomes the hunted, struggling to outlast trials that have claimed every Locrian before her.
With her untrained sister, Quynh, at risk, Lia faces Ilion’s perilous labyrinth, ruthless foes, and her growing connection to Jason—a rival sailor as dangerous as he is captivating. Trusting him could save her, or destroy her mission.
Failure means death and her nation’s fall. Success demands everything. Can Lia conquer the trials, protect her sister, and save her people—or will the goddess claim another sacrifice?
