About this audiobook
In these chapters, the world stands on the edge of both spectacle and disaster. As political games twist the Tournament of Five Academies into something far more dangerous, champions are forged in the training yard while predators in silks and crowns circle from afar. Old rivals, hidden agendas, and dangerous invitations converge, each move pulling the gathering of nations closer to a battlefield disguised as a celebration. And in the shadows behind it all, powers far older than politics quietly adjust the board, intent on steering the outcome toward a conflict no one is truly ready to face.
