The Trial was meant to eliminate champions, not replace them.
In the aftermath of a public execution, Seventeen begins to see the pattern hiding behind the spectacle. As alliances quietly form without her, old loyalties crumble, and every conversation becomes another move in a game no one fully understands.
The champions believe they are fighting for a throne. The patrons believe they are buying influence. The Crown insists the Trial is proceeding as it always has.
Seventeen no longer believes any of them.
As she follows the trail left behind by the fallen, long-buried memories of her own past begin to surface, forcing her to confront the true reason she entered the Trial under another woman's name. The answers she has been searching for may lie far beyond the arena, but the cost of finding them is becoming clearer with every body that falls.
Some games are played to find a winner.
This one may have been designed to ensure there is never one.

Why Feedback Matters More Than Exposure
In this episode of Beyond The Page, I take a step back from storytelling and talk about something every writer runs into sooner or later; the gap between gaining visibility and actually getting better.
The truth is, you can post consistently, gain traction, and still feel stuck. And it's not because you lack talent, but cos you're missing feedback that actually helps you grow.
This episode also introduces something new my partner and I have been working on; Storyloom, a space designed to bring writing, feedback, and discovery into one continuous loop.
If you’re a writer trying to improve, or a reader who enjoys being part of the creative process, this conversation is for you.

Before The Body Falls
The arena does not groom. It only replaces.
When a champion is publicly executed for “subverting the sanctity of the Trial,” the court calls it procedure, but Seventeen calls it proof.
The replacement arrives before the body finishes collapsing into the sand.
This is no longer a competition of merit, but a curated spectacle, and someone other than the Crown is rearranging the board faster than the throne admits.
