Every thousand years a certain competition called "The King Game" is held to select the rightful ruler of Gaia City's underworld, to secure the stability and harmony within its walls. It is a game with no rules and no one knows how exactly a "King" will be chosen. Even so, various criminals, even righteous citizens, risk their lives for only one reason: Not only will the winner receive a generous sum of money, they  will also get their greatest wish granted - whatever it may be.

Aspiring writer Eldrick Mertens is facing poverty. Being an untalented writer, far too lazy for his own good, dealing with an editor whose expactations are way too high and no financial backing whatsoever, he sees himself confronted with only one last choice of survival - winning "The King Game" and getting by with its prize money. However everything changes after entering the competition, slowly turning everyone's world upside down.

What exactly is "The King Game" anyway?

Dive into the world of love and magic, any way you like to read. *** Sometimes love is the strongest magic of all *** Nineteen-year-old Rhia Greenbrook has lived in the sleepy town of Oakriver in a house with three generations of witches her entire life. Rhia draws her magic from the earth and likes to spend her time amongst plants and nature. Her practice is gentle, sacred, and-per her family's tradition-secret. New-to-town witch Valerie Morgan is looking for answers about her mother's disappearance from Oakriver seventeen years ago. Without her mother's guidance, Valerie has cultivated her fire magic on her own and she makes no effort to keep her powers hidden. Although Rhia is immediately annoyed by Valerie's blatant use of magic, she can't deny the instant magnetism between them. But amidst their magical connection, a dark presence looms over Oakriver. Unsettling visions from Rhia's grandmother and dangerous sleepwalking episodes throw into question Valerie's past and what role her presence plays in the strange happenings. And as Valerie gets tangled up further into the darkness, it's up to Rhia to tap into the full potential of her power in order to save the town she loves and the girl she's fallen for.
