Stripped of power. Fuelled by vengeance.

She lost everything because of his lie. Now the only way to save what remains is to win a tournament designed to destroy her.

When Prince Kyor twisted the truth about his mother’s death, Rose paid the price. Her family was stripped of their magic, cast into the slums, and left to wither in a world that once revered them. Now her parents are gone, and her younger sister’s life hangs in the balance.

Rose’s only hope is the Tournament of the Gifting — a brutal competition where the victor earns a blessing from Etta, the goddess of life. The catch? Every other contender wields the very power she was robbed of.

And Kyor is among them. He doesn’t just want to win. He wants her dead.

Thrown into a world of magic, monsters, and merciless trials, Rose must fight not only for survival but for the chance to reclaim her future. Along the way, she’ll find unlikely allies, betrayals that cut deep, and a connection with her greatest enemy that could ruin her — or remake her.

This enthralling romantasy is perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, found family, and heroines who rise from ruin. This is a tale of heartbreak, vengeance, and the kind of power that can’t be stolen.
