Description

Disguised as nobles, rudra, samarin, and ren infiltrate the kingdom of gracevale, intent on carrying out a high-stakes heist. But their mission takes an unexpected turn when they are swept into the 120th games of aetheria—a brutal contest where five champions, one from each of the five kingdoms- must survive treacherous trials for the glory of their lands.
As rudra battles through the deadly competition, juggling her role as both champion and criminal, a string of unnatural murders follows their every move. The victims? Royals whose deaths threaten to shatter the fragile peace of the continent.
Amid the bloodshed and chaos, rudra uncovers the forgotten past of aetheria, piecing together a pattern. The darkwalker, long thought dead, has awakened—and they are determined to steal all magic and plunge the world into shadow. Now, she must outwit her enemies, survive the games, and stop a rising threat before it consumes everything.
In this epic tale of danger, deceit, and destiny, survival is just the beginning.
