Once in every ten years, a great festivity takes place within the empire of Elthiora where the most anticipated game of the empire is held. But this is not your typical kind of game. It is not a hunting game, either. It was a game of kill or be killed. No rules to uphold, virtues are cast aside, principles will be defied. It was a game for which the victor has to stand on top of the corpses of the other players. And out of hundreds of thousands enlisted to play the Game, only one team shall be hailed as victors. The victors will be hailed as heroes, and will be given rewards beyond riches. And anyone is invited to participate in the game where anyone can be a winner. People from different sides of the empire are now at the Castle Square. Entities of different races, disparate individuals, nobility and the common folk, all gathered with the same goal and role--- to play and win the game.

Pointy ears-check, third-eye induced headaches-check, fighting against a Dark Phoenix Griffin who wants to turn you into the Ultimate Weapon to kill the king... not happening. At eighteen, Sophie Emerson discovers her identity as a Spirit fae at the prestigious Earwyn Academy of Concordia. It is an identity she welcomes. She can do without the skull-splitting headaches induced by learning to control her clairvoyant powers, though. She'll also love it if someone can tell her why she sees herself in a dream surrounded by nine children who are channeling their powers into her to become a monster that will destroy Concordia. When three kids disappeared from the village, Sophie learns that the Dark Griffin abducted six other children two years ago. The dream shows her she is the last piece to become the Dark Griffin's Ultimate Weapon, and he will abduct her next. Sophie needs a plan when she wakes up in a cell with the nine other children. One that will stop herself from becoming this weapon, save the abducted children, and stop an undefeated Griffin. Being magical shouldn't be this stressful! She would have preferred to remain human, thank you very much. (a shout-out to @Novel---worm for the lovely edit on my blurb)
