The Trials.

In a realm teetering between chaos and order at the hand of Immortals, a noblewoman named Siyana enters a deadly competition where victory means more than survival-it means control over life and death. As the gods' fragile balance begins to fracture a forgotten force stirs beneath the surface. Kept secret by centuries upon centuries of lies and deceit, the Nukpana awakens, a dragon bound by ancient orders, now poised to return. With that return, it could bring the entire universe down with it.

Guided by the enigmatic ferryman Addamon, Siyana uncovers the truths long concealed by her own father, a consul of minor power, has her set on a path to release the cataclysmic creature. In the Trials, where loyalty is tested and survival is uncertain, alliances are meek and the price of power is steep. The gods may have orchestrated the end of the world-but can one mortal rewrite it?
