Until the last leaf falls

The Culling Year is an ancient, unspoken tradition at the academy-each year, a select group of students is chosen for a brutal survival trial. Only half will make it out alive. No one knows how or why they're chosen, and no one dares to ask. Those who fail... vanish without a trace, their names erased, their existence forgotten. It's a game of power, betrayal, and survival, and everyone is playing to win.
