Nyx Keller’s final hunt should have been her last. Instead of prison, she receives an impossible choice: exile to the Beastworld (a  dimension ruled by shapeshifting predators) or rot in a cell for forty years. Armed with nothing but her wits and a monitoring chip implanted in her spine, Nyx sets foot in a realm that slaughtered humans three centuries ago.

She’s not supposed to survive there but the Lion King has other plans.

Raziel Ashmane is fascinated by the human who refuses to bow. When he claims Nyx as his own, it ignites a firestorm of political intrigue, ancient grudges, and a connection that defies three hundred years of bloodshed.

But Nyx has her own plan as well:  surviving, taming the Nightstalker, and building an army from the outcasts; the ones the Kings deemed worthless.


But Beastworld isn’t just one kingdom, it has five kingdoms. Each ruled by a king who wants Nyx dead and for themselves.

Surviving there will require more than sharp instincts.


CONTENT WARNING:

Mature themes including violence, morally complex characters, intense romantic tension, and a heroine who will do terrible things trying to survive in a world that wants her dead.

UPDATE SCHEDULE- 2 chapters/day

Back in the isolation chamber, Nyx collapsed on the furs. She had passed two phases which had been traps disguised as tests. 


She realised the trial wasn't about testing her. It was about creating a public perception against her. 


The horn blew. Phase three was about to begin.


Nyx stood up, and walked back towards the platform. When she stood on the platform, she saw all four kings standing except for Zephyr.


The magical board updated with new text.


You will answer questions from each of the four kings. These questions will test your political philosophy, moral reasoning, and governance. You must answer honestly. Evasion or deception will result in immediate trial failure.
