Fatebound

Dawn never wanted to be a warrior. Forced into servitude as a mercenary, she has spent years fighting for survival, her life dictated by the whims of those who own her. But when she is chosen as a champion in the King's deadly trials-a brutal competition designed to entertain the bloodthirsty masses-her only options are to fight or die.

Thrust into the arena alongside warriors, criminals, and killers, Dawn must navigate a world where alliances are fragile and betrayal is inevitable. Among her competitors are Reggie, a sharp-tongued rogue, Lily, a deadly fighter whose kindness is as sharp as her blades, and Kayn, the enigmatic General with a shadowed past and a dangerous presence she can't ignore.

As the trials unfold, Dawn uncovers secrets about herself-secrets that could ignite a revolution. But survival comes at a cost, and the closer she gets to freedom, the more she realizes that fate has already marked her path in blood.

Bound by choice. Bound by sacrifice.

They will either rise together-or fall alone.
