In the kingdom of Thyn, power is everything. The Elites rule with abilities that make them untouchable, while the powerless Mundanes are condemned to the Warrens, fighting to survive at the king’s will.

Every hundred years, the ruler from a distant kingdom overseas witnesses The Gambit, a brutal competition where Elites fight for the chance to become sky bound. The Trials serve as a display of strength and a reminder of the kingdom’s power.

Aelyn Forbes, a Mundane with quick hands and sharp instincts, has learned to survive by staying in the shadows. But when an unexpected turn of fate lands her in The Gambit, Aelyn’s carefully constructed life begins to unravel.

The Gambit isn’t just a fight for survival, it’s a reckoning. Whispers of a forgotten fate stir, and she soon discovers that there are darker forces at play. One wrong move might not only cost her life, but shatter the world she knows.

Embrace the hunt. Honor the dragon.
Welcome to The Gambit.
