In the opulent kingdom of Valenles, power isn't inherited-it's seized. Every generation, as the royal heir reaches maturity, a deadly game unfolds. Young contenders, aged between 16 and 18, converge from every corner of the realm, each vying for the ultimate prize: entry into the coveted inner circle of the crown. Twenty-six participants find themselves ensnared within this twisted realm, where alliances shatter like glass, and trust is a fleeting illusion. Amidst the chaos, the heirs of the seven bloodlines emerge, a convergence of beauty and cunning, each a viper in disguise. Yet, amidst their machinations, a darker threat looms-an assassin with a deadly agenda, seeking to eradicate the bloodlines one by one. Sister to the kingdom's most notorious outlaw, Azalea Fallone is branded with a mark of danger, as she finds herself thrust into the heart of the Crown Games. Survival is an art, every move is a calculated risk. As fate intertwines her path with that of the enigmatic heirs, Azalea becomes a pawn in a game far larger than herself where only the most cunning will survive.
