The Ophis Gambit

<p><b>A thousand years ago in a world of ordinaries a snake was born</b><br/><b>with magic. And so began the age of the Illuminaris.</b></p><p><br/>Magic once ruled Eirinath-until the powerless found their place<br/>in steel and science and the gifted were cast aside. Now the<br/>Illuminaris and the Koinos stand divided and the hatred<br/>between them burns.<br/>To keep peace the king created the Ophis Ordeal-a brutal<br/>annual trial that determines who holds power.<br/>Seventeen-year-old Prairie Valerian a Koinos never intended to<br/>enter. But when her gang's survival is threatened she's forced<br/>into the trials-where secrets are deadly and every choice carves<br/>a new scar.<br/>Beside her is Rhyden Thalos-all sharp smiles storm-dark eyes<br/>and the kind of danger that lingers in a room long after he's left<br/>it. He's reckless unpredictable...and hiding something that could<br/>burn them all.</p><p><br/>Can Prairie survive a war she never asked for?<br/>Or will the trials destroy them first?</p><p><br/><b>After all those born ordinary rewrite the world.</b></p>
