Zariyah Miller steps into the Century Battles, her heart steeled for what's to come. The prize? The title of queen-an honor that demands strength, cunning, and the ability to outlast every other contender. But Zariyah is not just fighting for the crown. She fights to protect something far more precious: the manuscript that holds unimaginable power. A secret no one can know she possesses.

But the shadows that once clung to her every step haven't vanished. They linger, silent and foreboding, waiting for the right moment to strike. Their presence is a constant reminder that her fight is far from over. The battles may be fierce, but the true danger lies in the darkness that follows her, threatening to unravel everything she's fought to protect.

In the chaos of the arena, alliances will shift, enemies will rise, and Zariyah will have to decide how much she's willing to sacrifice. The prize is the crown, but the real question remains: Can she hold onto her secret while the shadows draw closer, or will the darkness claim everything she holds dear?
