Eliza Rose thought surviving her first semester at Mionlach Academy would be the hardest thing she'd ever face. She was wrong.
After uncovering dangerous truths about the Kingdom of Ilmortia, Eliza is pulled deeper into the Academy's deadliest paths. Surviving the Intellect Class, a feat no first-year has ever accomplished, marks her as something far from ordinary. As rumors of a missing royal heir grow, every trial begins to feel less like education and more like judgment.
Forced into an unprecedented third class, the brutal Athlete track, Eliza's training turns from competition to survival. With rivalries intensifying and sabotage closing in, even those she loves are no longer safe.
As the Academy reels from her impossible success, Eliza must face a chilling truth: the greatest danger at Mionlach isn't the trials themselves, but the lies the Kingdom was built upon.
Passing the tests was only the beginning.
