Every twelve years, the gods demand a champion.
Aelric bears the Mark - a sacred star that binds him to the Gods' Challenge, a brutal trial that determines the future of the realm. As the bastard son of a murdered chieftess, Aelric has been raised to lead, but now his bloodline is under siege, his heritage questioned, and his heart divided between duty and love.
His twin sister, Aurelia, hides secrets even from herself: uncanny luck, a mother's whispered warnings from beyond the grave, and a child born under mysterious stars. When dreams begin to twist into prophecy and shadows whisper of betrayal, the twins must decide who they are-heirs of mortals, or children of gods.
In a world where divine blood is both blessing and curse, survival may demand more than strength. It may require sacrifice.
