Catastrophic, chaotic, and absurdly unpredictable.
That's the best description of Kira's life. Oh, and a huge mountain of bad luck!
Between the encounter with a mysterious man who meets her, asks her a strange question, and then disappears like a ghost, leaving a curse of bad luck on her life, followed by her mom losing control, her ''dad'' thinking that he can build a spaceship in the garage out of nowhere, an old friend that reappears with a desperate message hiding a secret and a little sister that requires her protection from their ''father'', Kira is just trying not to lose her mind, while figuring out how the hell her life became such a bad joke.
As Kira used to say, sometimes life can be really messed up!
This is a story of survival, sarcasm, and an attempt to stay sane in a world that clearly wasn't. The story follows Kira, a 16-year-old girl who used to live with her single mother, Caroline, and her 10-year-old sister, Kimi. Kira's life will suddenly change completely, and she will start a crazy journey to get her normal, boring life back.
Will Kira ever find out the truth and regain control of her life, or will she get stuck forever, in this chaotic chain of bad luck?
Let's find out!

Just want to thank you for being here and tell you that this is my very first book. I literally just started writing not too long ago, and I have no freaking idea about what I'm doing. English is not even my first language (although I use it at work). So, yeah. I think we have here a very original recipe for DISASTER, don't you agree?

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.
