The Queen has decided to hold a competition...One that takes lives and gives. One that spills blood and cleans it.

All guards of the castle have gone to the city to find a champion but only fifty enter the selection process. Twenty-five Alchemists and twenty-five Destroyers.  No one knows what the competition is for or how it will be executed save for the Cruel Queen. The Competition of Death is what it is called and it's completely true. Twenty-five will die, but only one will prevail. For the better or worse.

Not expecting a Rare, a person with the ability to control a mixture of Destruction and Alchemy, let alone two, The Cruel Queen is taken aback. But what shocks her most is the fact that both Rares are prisoners with the title of "The Worst Criminals in Carrallizian History." Better known as the Ergastula. 

The biggest disgrace of Carralliz.  

Without any memory of their lives, the Rares fight in the competition to earn their freedom, but they prove to be a royal pain in the neck for the Cruel Queen. An even bigger one than the threats of war coming from the East and the West. 

Will the queen be able to keep the competition going smoothly? Or will she have to address the threats of war?

"No one is coming to save you. There will be no escape, there will only be you and me, here, for however long it takes for you to answer every one of my questions. If you are waiting for your King to come and save you, you are sadly mistaken, he cannot reach you here." That statement might have defeated any other prisoner, but she knew better. She had known and accepted that she would find her death here. She laughed as loudly as she could, making a show of it, "rescue me? Please don't tell me you think I'm a damsel in distress." His smile met her laugh, meeting her challenge with his own. "Distress? No. But we have just gotten started." ---- Adriell did not come here for a prince, she came for his throne. Born of the sea, bound by vengeance. Adriell, heir of the merpeople, and warrior, is captured by the humans from the land up above and transformed into the very creature she despises. Captured and transformed, she is a mermaid adrift, a warrior without her sea. Her prison becomes her battleground when she vows to assassinate the Sultan, the man who stole her life. To slaughter the sultan the way he slaughters her people. In the heart of the enemy's court, she discovers Allaric, the Sultan's son, a man haunted by his own secrets and a man who yearns for his father's downfall. Forced into a dangerous alliance, they navigate a world of shadows and lies, where enemies become allies, and hatred simmers into a forbidden desire. In this dark fantasy retelling, alliances are forged in blood, and the price of freedom is paid in secrets and sacrifice. A dark, enemies-to-lovers fantasy where the sea meets the sword. Trigger warnings inside.

NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON!!! Chapters 1-10 are available here!! In the land of Evanyl, there are only two classes: The rich and the poor, the upper and lower class, the posh and the peasants. There is no in between. The only ways you achieve either status is by birth or winning a brutal competition that will make the winner rich beyond his wildest dreams. The fights, however, are to the death, and the poor are forced to compete once every five years for the rich's amusement. The creator of this competition has passed, leaving his legacy to his only heir. This year's tournament will promise to have even more carnage and gore since Vyron Tamminalin is now in charge. He's more blood thirsty and vicious than his father and adds some twists to the rules of the competition. Vyron has two daughters, Xera and Xori. Xera is the eldest and has the same cruel spirit of her father, but Xori is kind hearted and forced to watch every year as countless innocent people die just to entertain the wealthy. If she could ever find a way to leave this place or shut the competition down, she would in a heartbeat. Zakyrik Ruequal was the only child of his parents, who passed a few years back. His father was forced to compete and died within the third round, then his mother passed a year later from a broken heart. Zakyrik had to take over the work his father did to pay the greedy landlord off where he would not be kicked out of his family home. He hates the competition and everything it stands for. He also detests fighting and yearns for a peaceful life away from Evanyl. This year though, as his luck would have it, he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and was hand picked to compete. Zakyrik plans to do everything he can to escape, and if that's not an option then he's going to be forced to fight for a prize he never wanted in the first place.
