To The Stars (Completed ✔)

The Gauntlet is meant to break you.

Every year, dozens of teens enter. Not all of them come out.

Ashton has spent his entire life preparing for this moment-and still, he's not ready.

Then he meets Myra. Confident and unshaken. Smiling like she already knows she'll survive.

They make a pact: no matter what the Gauntlet throws at them, they'll make it through together.

But the Gauntlet doesn't just test your strength.
It changes you.
It erodes trust.
And it turns people into something unrecognizable.

Ashton is determined to reach the end with Myra.

He's just not sure she's planning to do the same.

"To the stars through hardship."

Surviving is one thing.
Reaching the stars is another.

A completed dystopian survival story featuring a deadly challenge known as the Gauntlet. Perfect for fans of dark fiction, psychological tension, and high-stakes competitions where trust is fragile and betrayal is inevitable.
