The Twelfth Trial (The Trial Saga Series 1)

1,200 players. 12 months. 120 groups. 12 Trials. 195 Nations. 1 survivor.

No warning. No choice. No escape.

Adrian Dela Vega never asked to compete. Chosen from millions, he wakes in a rainforest that breathes like a living beast. The rules are simple: survive each month, endure every Trial, and outlast the others.

But the rainforest is not just nature - it's engineered terror. Storms move with purpose. Predators strike with uncanny timing. Every day becomes a choice between morality and survival.

As alliances fracture and humanity rots in the heat, Adrian learns that mercy is weakness and trust is fatal. Yet in the blood and fire, he begins to understand that the real enemy is not the players - it's whoever watches them from above.

And when the Twelfth Trial ends, the question that haunts him isn't how he survived -
but why he was chosen at all.
