MAHARLIKA: THE HEPTAD TRIALS
Eight centuries of lies. Seven sectors. A handful of "Awakened" souls.
In the year 2826, a glitched broadcast calls a group of special individuals to the 8th Centennial Game. Sixteen-year-old Aliyah Zapanta is one of them. While her family saw only static, Aliyah saw a path out of Sector 5 and a chance to find the parents who abandoned her.
To reach the fabled Forgotten Island, she must survive the Heptad Trials-seven brutal tests across a fractured monarchy. Aliyah doesn't know why she was singled out, but in a game where "special" is a death sentence, her will is her only shield.
The trials are set. The chosen have been called. The truth is waiting.
