Synopsis
One prince wants her out.
Another wants her as a pawn.
Someone wants her dead.
Zora wants to win the cup and tell them all to screw themselves.
Yes, 17-year-old Zora cheated her way into the Royal Games, but it was for a very good reason. Her ex-boyfriend thought she couldn’t attain glory on her own. Just because she was a girl. And he was the real cheater. So she took his place.
Now she’s competing for the legendary Blood Cup, representing the Dark Valley. It’s her chance to prove her worth and bring glory for her people. If she wins, of course.
But winning is far from easy. The younger prince thinks she’s a fragile damsel who doesn’t belong in the competition. Determined to eliminate her at all costs, he’s stacking the challenges against her. Zora hates him, hates him, hates him, and will do anything to prove him wrong.
The older prince is helping her, but the cost is getting Zora entangled in dangerous flirting games. Flirting, the last thing she wanted.
And then there’s someone trying to kill her.

About the Author
I’m originally from Brazil but I’ve been living in Montreal, Canada for over 15 years. I’ve always loved to write stories, and I like to always include romance, action, magic and humor in my writing. I think stories can touch us deeply.
This book kind of reminds of Throne of Glass
It’s been a while since I’ve read TOG so I don’t remember loads, but yeah. I can definitely see some similarities in the story.
This sounds like an interesting book! I’ll definitely check it out more!
