Someone Must Die.
She Must Choose Who.

The life of a young princess is turned upside down when she discovers her parents are evil despots. How far will she go to end their reign of terror?

King Cameron, Queen Stella, and their daughter Princess Liralexa live in splendor. Many of their subjects in The Kingdom of the Nine Regions go to bed hungry. The oblivious princess believes her parents are kind and caring rulers. When she stumbles on a portal and travels to the Step Region, the terrible truth is revealed to her.

She falls for Malthus, the son of the governor of the Step Region who is in the crosshairs of General Hackett, the man who enforces her parents' cruel laws. When Malthus and his friend Aimee are chosen for the Strages, a struggle in which only one combatant survives, Liralexa is the only one who can save them.

Caught between duty to her family and loyalty to her friends, she is forced to make a terrible decision.
