In the City of Vanstone, survival is a privilege - not a right.
At sixteen, every citizen's life changes. Your name is added to the Conscription Ledger, and from that moment, your clock starts ticking. The only way to escape that fate is to survive the Trials.
Brutal. Public. Glorified.
Win, and you earn a place within the Garrison - trained, fed, sheltered from the front lines. Lose and you might not return at all.
For years, Sable has prepared for this moment. Training classes. Hunger. Discipline.
But beneath the spectacle of the Trials lies something far darker. Because in Vanstone, the greatest danger isn't the arena.
