A Kingdom so Crimson by Emmory Jarman

ANASTASIA play-write by Marcelle Maurette meets THE HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins and THRONE OF GLASS by Sarah J. Maas in this high-fantasy, action-romance with monsters, magic, and a world beyond the existence of time.

Eliah has never been able to control two things: her life and her furious temper. Abandoned as an infant by her arrogant parents, she was shoved into the care of a haughty Lord who saw her as nothing more than a pawn—a means to secure entry into the King’s Court through a brutal death match.
She has never known a world beyond the estate’s walls. Her existence has been a cycle of relentless training, harsh punishments, and dreams crushed under the weight of her bleak reality—a dream the stars never blessed her with.
Until one day, everything changes. Forced to leave behind the only life she knows, Eliah is thrust into preparations for the death match alongside a new, mysterious mentor who carries a deadly secret—a plan that must stay hidden for the greater good of all existence.
As she dives deeper into her training, she uncovers the dark truths that rot within the kingdom’s corrupt core—monsters lurking in every shadow, dark Magics festering on souls, and a bounty on her head that would tempt even the noblest to kill.
Eliah is no longer just fighting to survive the King’s Match; she must also endure the relentless hunt of the insidious Spellcasters, a sinister order whose thirst for cosmic domination is unquenchable.

Can she navigate the treacherous web of lies and betrayal before her fate is sealed?
