Leave Me Lost in Winter

By Lina Eagle

A game can't kill you. But the Zephyrian Empire can.

Olena and her friends hunt down the world's rarest video game-a mistake that tears open a portal to a brutal dystopia. In the Zephyrian Empire, a sadistic caste system rules: the color of your hair determines your worth, and every death is final.

To survive, they need guides who are as dangerous as the world itself. Eric, a cunning Eclat who knows the game's twisted rules. And Yoonchan, a lethally skilled Maelum slave whose forbidden powers could save them-or doom everyone. To earn a way home, they must complete a quest for a ruthless warlord. A quest that will turn them into killers.

The true horror isn't the slavery or the cannibalism. It's the price. Old wounds from their past lives refuse to heal here, festering reminders that they are anchored to this hell. As they are dragged into the heart of a bloody revolution, they must face a terrifying choice: become monsters to defeat a master, or cling to a humanity that will get them slaughtered.

In Zephy, there are no heroes. Only survivors. And the ghosts of who they used to be.
