One Year. One Tournament. One Impossible Choice.
Hidden by the frost-bitten mountains of Antarctica lives a secret society of Alchemists, monitored by government agencies worldwide.
After an explosion decimates her high school graduation, the United Defense Against Magic offers 18-year-old Shiloh Benson a deadly bargain. Infiltrate Terra Australis University on behalf of her nation, or face execution for her crimes.
Thrust into an elite military academy for the children of the founding families, Shiloh wonders if a society that has managed to master the elements and eradicate all poverty is too good to be true. And when her sharp tongue lands her in hot water among their ruling class, she's forced to compete in a tournament before the King where the rules are simple: Win or die trying. That is... if her bloodthirsty classmates and the ruthless sons of the founders don't finish her off first.
But time is running out. With the rumblings of war looming on the horizon, one destined to wipe out the human race, Shiloh Benson's success might be humanity's last hope of survival.
However, she'll have to make it through the year first.
