In a world where Sephors-fragments of divine power-decide who rules and who kneels, the gods known as the Pillars watch from above, shaping mortals into weapons of their will. To be born without a Sephor is to be nothing. Yet Kang Ngaret, an ordinary man stripped of power, is the one the Pillars themselves call upon. Again and again, they summon him to rise as one of their own, to claim a throne among the divine. Again and again, he refuses. Instead, he embraces the abyss. Forged in shadows, he becomes the *Abyss Knight*, a hunter who turns his blade against the corrupted humans who abuse their Sephors-and the very gods who burdened mankind with them. But how can a man with no power stand against the endless might of Sephors? How can one mortal cut down not only the wicked who rule the earth... but the gods who sit above it? Whispers name him heretic. Others call him savior. In the end, he will be neither. He will be the abyss that devours gods and men alike. ---

Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner. But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games. No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.
