In the kingdom of Anansi, chaos has reigned since the murder of the queen. Desperate to revive her, the grief-stricken king hunts for the fabled Soul Cast whose Blood Majik holds the key to resurrecting the dead from the Underworld. To find the Soul Cast, the king requires all individuals with Blood Majik to compete in the Soul Cast Trials—where failure to win means death.

Hidden in the kingdom’s slums, sixteen-year-old Krio conceals his powerful Blood Majik to avoid certain death. But when his majik unexpectantly triggers and destroys his village, the King’s Royal Guardians demand answers. Krio’s mother takes the blame—sacrificing her life for her son—and is taken to the palace to be entered in The Soul Cast Trials.

Determined to rescue his mother, Krio assumes a false identity and infiltrates the palace, volunteering to compete in the Soul Cast Trials. As the competition begins, Krio fights to stay alive while desperately searching for his mother’s whereabouts, ultimately forging an unlikely alliance with the Prince to survive.

As the Soul Cast Trials grow deadlier, so too do Krio’s feelings for the Prince. But dark secrets threaten them all; can Krio remain alive long enough to find and save his mother, or will love, betrayal, and dark majik prove to be not just his end… but the end to the entire kingdom?
