the Faith of Fallen Goddess

I was never meant to survive the arena.Never meant for a life beyond earning coin for my drunken uncle.So why am I still alive?How did I defy the odds... and awaken magick I was never meant to wield?And what if my survival was never luck...but fate?Every five moon cycles, the people of Vethari Valley are given a single chance: survive the Assay and earn a place in the coveted Vethari Legion-where mortals are reborn as wielders of Descendant Magick.But this cycle is different.For the first time in history, women are allowed to compete.Most won't survive.Reva never intended to enter the Assay. And she was never expected to live through it. Yet with each trial she endures, something ancient begins to stir within her. Power. Truth. A destiny she was never meant to uncover.Calix is bound by duty and shadowed by forbidden magick. His loyalty tied to a Legion that demands obedience and a High Prophet who demands control. Forced to train the very mortals he despises, Calix is unprepared for the one recruit who challenges everything he believes.From the moment he meets Reva, nothing remains the same.As prophecy awakens and rebellion brews, their fates become dangerously intertwined, threatening to unravel the very foundation of Vethari itself.Because some are not meant to survive.They are meant to change everything.
