Ten Trials. Two Oaths. One Chance.




Available April 15th, 2025
To Adrian, the gods were never anything to be worshipped, just tolerated. But in the walled city of Sanctuary, whether through the religious fervor of the elite or the quaking fear of the poor, the Geist have always been served. And now it’s Adrian’s turn.
Born into power and raised for greatness, Dante stands for everything Adrian has come to despise, but he may be her only hope of survival. When the two of them are bonded against their will and forced to compete together in the Trials, the god’s ancient gauntlet of physical brutality and psychological torture, they have no choice but to set aside old prejudices and work together. Navigating religious zealots, a patriarch intent on breeding the pair for power, and the increasingly obvious cruelty of the gods, Adrian must come to terms with the fact that, whether Culled or Championed, we all serve the gods in the end. And, for her, betrayal has always been waiting just around the corner.
THE THIRD RING is THE SERPENT AND THE WINGS OF NIGHT meets THE MAZE RUNNER with an irreverent, unapologetically headstrong female main character and her brooding, mysterious male partner. Fans of fantasy with deadly trials, will-they-won’t-they tension, and mortals contending with cruel and merciless gods will revel in Adrian’s tale.
