About this book

When Kal is pulled back from the brink of death by a deal struck in desperation, he finds himself entangled in the machinations of the Otherworld—a magical realm divided between Dayside and Nightside, where power is currency and survival is never guaranteed. Urged by his devoted sylph familiar Bell to carve out his own place in this dangerous world, Kal enters the Samhain games as a champion competing for the mysterious title of Seven Year King, a position shrouded in dark secrets and political intrigue. What follows is a brutal journey of self-discovery as Kal faces impossible trials that force him to confront who he really is and what he's capable of becoming. This is a darkly enchanting tale about transformation, the cost of ambition, and whether the monsters we fear are born or made.

Dark, atmospheric fae fantasy with gothic undertones and whispered vocals. Think haunting orchestral arrangements, industrial edge, and ethereal synths—moody but restrained. Artists like Evanescence, Hozier, and Arca. Tension without heat; danger wrapped in beauty.
