"Last night, Eira killed a man. However justified her actions were, many now regard her as a cold-blooded murderer and a heretic who extinguised their hope. But there's no time to explain herself. She barely has a chance to wash the blood off her hands before the Tournament of Five Kingdoms begins. Sequestered with the other champions for the duration of the tournament, Eira must now navigate the games, her competition, the enemies who hunt her head, and - somehow worse than all the rest - being stuck in close quarters with the man who broke her heart. All is fair in love and magical tournaments, and Eira is ready for the fight of her life."--from book jacket.
