Who Is This Book For?

Aris grew up with one memory burned into her mind: the night a goddess destroyed her village and killed her family. Years later, she has one shot at getting close to the gods who did it, by surviving a brutal competition called the Culling and entering the immortal realm of Starside itself. Along the way she is forced to work beside Harlan Raker, the king's guard who once betrayed her and now might be the only person standing between her and death. Readers get a story about grief turning into purpose, trust turning into something more, and a magic system built around blades instead of spells.
