In the Race, friends are a luxury, and family? Just a memory. Viola has spent years training to conquer this ruthless pilgrimage and claim her place in Ytopie, the fae city of magic and splendor. Driven by anger over her abandonment, she wants more than the Race’s empty promises—she wants to beat the system.
With only her friend Max for support, Viola navigates the treacherous Gallant Summit, where the gods demand sacrifices, and no path is ever safe. But as she edges closer to Ytopie, she realizes the fae’s world isn’t the paradise she’d imagined.
When everyone has an agenda, and her every move is watched, Viola’s journey turns deadly. Will her grit be enough, or will Ytopie consume her too?
