In a world where magic holds immense power, Lady Everleigh, born into the royal court of Bellona, finds herself relegated to the shadows due to her lack of apparent abilities. As the seventeenth in line for the throne, Evie is nothing more than a ceremonial fixture, often overlooked and forgotten. However, beneath the surface of this seemingly ordinary existence, dark forces stir, brewing a storm that will engulf the entire kingdom.

When her cousin Vasilia, the crown princess, assassinates her mother, the queen, and seizes the throne through force, Evie, along with the rest of the royal family, becomes a target. Miraculously, Evie's secret immunity to magic saves her from the massacre, allowing her to escape into hiding. Fate has other plans, however, as she finds herself drawn into the world of gladiators.

Unbeknownst to her, the gladiators in this troupe are not mere entertainers but highly skilled warriors, trained in the art of war. Among them is Lucas Sullivan, a powerful magier with his own secrets. As Evie begins training with the troupe, she must navigate the complexities of their world, honing her skills and learning to trust those around her.

As Vasilia exerts her power, pushing Bellona to the brink of war, Evie's fate becomes clear: she must become a fearsome gladiator herself and kill the queen. This daunting task will require all of Evie's strength, courage, and determination, as she faces impossible odds and treacherous challenges.

With the help of her newfound allies, Evie embarks on a perilous journey, where she will confront not only Vasilia but also the dark forces that threaten to destroy her kingdom. Along the way, she will discover the true meaning of her power and the sacrifices she must make to save her family, her kingdom, and herself.
