Athena has no one.
Orphaned at the tender age of twelve, she doesn't want anything to do with the Color War; a decades long war being waged between the vicious King of the new world and the magic users of the past. In a realm where a person's eye color directly relates to the magic they can control, Athena's green eyes mark her as the most powerful mage to have been born in centuries - and everyone wants a piece.
Jax has everyone.
Prince of the new world, he has no understanding of the war that rages outside the kingdom walls. After the violent death of his childhood tutor, Jax begins to realize the world around him is slowly spinning into all out chaos - and that he doesn't want to be King if his only legacy is cruelty.
Their fates are inevitably intertwined, and together, Athena and Jax will be forced to face a prophecy that could leave their country in ruin or usher it into a new era of peace.

THE BLACK TOWER
Thousands of people disappear from Earth in a single night. When they awaken, they find themselves at the bottom of an impossible black tower, its summit hidden beyond the clouds. Then a single command appears: ASCEND. Every floor is a world of its own-ruined cities, cursed forests, ancient kingdoms, forgotten civilizations, and creatures that should never have existed. But the Tower isn't only filled with monsters. As survivors awaken strange abilities and discover ancient weapons, they begin forming clans, factions, cults, and kingdoms. Friendships are forged through survival, alliances are made for power, and betrayal becomes inevitable. A trusted companion may become your greatest enemy. A stranger may become the person who saves your life. And sometimes, survival means choosing who gets left behind. The higher they climb, the more they uncover about the Tower, the civilizations that came before them, and the mysterious forces watching from above. Everyone has their own reason to climb. Freedom. Power. Revenge. Answers. But no one knows what awaits at the top. And perhaps the greatest question isn't what lies above- but why the Tower chose them in the first place.
