There’s a hush that falls before a new world reveals itself. The kind that feels like lightning caught mid-breath. The Mortal Trials hums with that kind of energy. It’s the promise of danger and divinity, of love blooming where death lingers close. Today, I’m thrilled to share something special (thank you, Angry Robot), the official cover reveal for Megan Shunmugam’s The Mortal Trials.
If your heart beats a little faster for stories that test both fate and feeling, you’re in the right place.
Synopsis
Every decade, thirteen mortals are chosen to compete in the Mortal Trials. A brutal, otherworldly competition where the prize is immortality, but it comes with the price tag of death.
When Lirah is ripped from her bed and thrust into the domain of the Elven, she must fight to survive challengers designed to break her body and spirit. Under the watchful eye of the brooding instructor, Killian Valhan, she learns that the Trials aren’t only about strength. They’re about secrets, sacrifice, and the dangerous pull of the heart.
But there are whispers of the missing Goddess of War, and Lirah soon realizes that the greatest threat isn’t the Trials themselves, but the secrets buried within. The gods are moving, and so is something deep inside her. Something divine. Deadly.
