The StarLight Tournament

For seventeen years, Seren has lived in the shadows of a life she never chose. Raised on a remote farm by a stepfather who despises her, she expects nothing from the world except hardship. So when he enters her into the legendary Starlight Tournament; a deadly competition where warriors and mages fight for the chance to become immortal Guardians; Seren is certain she has been sent to die.

As she faces enchanted labyrinths, monstrous beasts, and ancient temples filled with forgotten magic, Seren discovers a terrifying truth: she possesses a forbidden power long believed extinct. A power that could make her the most feared person in the realm.
Although, the one person she cannot stop thinking about is Orion Valebright, the tournament's most talented swordsman and heir to the noble family responsible for hunting people with abilities like hers. What begins as a fierce rivalry soon becomes something neither of them expected.
With danger lurking behind every trial and dark secrets hidden at the heart of the tournament, Seren finds herself caught between destiny and survival. As unlikely friendships become family and enemies become allies, she must decide whether to conceal the magic that could destroy her or embrace it and risk changing the realm forever.
In a competition where only one champion can rise; love, loyalty, and courage may prove more powerful than any magic.
Perfect for fans of magical tournaments, slow-burn romance, fierce heroines, and epic fantasy adventure, The Starlight Tournament is a thrilling tale of destiny, forbidden power, and finding where you truly belong.
