A century has passed since the Celestial Alignment, an event that merged two worlds into one, forcing the warring Fae and Humans to coexist.
As the two races are bound by a fragile treaty forged by Queen Helana of the Fae and King Emerson of the Humans, peace is established, if only for a short time.
That peace is then shattered when the ruling monarch's entire family was mysteriously murdered, leaving a power vacuum. In the aftermath, the Council of Five rose to power, their rule is shrouded in questionable acts.
As divisions between Fae and Humans rise, the Council invokes an ancient prophecy foretold by Queen Helana. To restore balance they announce the Obsidian Trials-a brutal series of challenges to crown the next Monarch of Thornwylde.
Quinn, an orphan raised within the walls of Greya's Academy, dreaming of freedom as her 21st birthday is looming. Fate has other plans. Thrust into the Obsidian Trials against her will, she must navigate deadly tournaments, uncover the secrets of her past, and confront a destiny she never sought.
In a world on the brink of chaos, Quinn's choices will determine not only her survival but the future of Thornwylde itself.
