In a steam-powered world where Kings and Queens rule with iron fists, four mighty nations gather to showcase their power. Every fifty-two years, they converge for the Triumph Games, a grand tourney spanning two full weeks where a single heir from each dynasty competes for the coveted prize. Cassandra Harth's world is forever altered when her beloved brother is taken on the sixth night of the Games. With a heavy heart, she finds herself thrown into the spotlight and tasked with taking her brother's place in the tournament. Desperate to leave, Cassandra creates a daring plan and turns to her fellow competitors for aid. Her goal is clear: gain their trust, expose her brother's kidnapper, and bring him back home. Even if it means forsaking the very tournament she was forced to join. It will not be an easy task, but Cassandra is determined to see it through, no matter what it takes.
