Nadir is a world where humans are the lowest form of life, they are hunted, enslaved, hunted, and torn apart by the towering, godlike Nades. For generations, the Nades have ruled with ruthless tradition, and the humans, weak and disposable, are forced to survive in the shadows. The Tradition is the ultimate bloodsport—a savage ritual where 24 humans and 24 Nades are thrown onto a cursed island to battle each other, the elements, and the monstrous creatures of darkness, born from the darkest nightmares of Nadir’s past. For ten months, the island becomes a graveyard.
This year, everything changes.
Kai'vier, a human hybrid, has been chosen—the first of his kind to ever be thrust into the Tradition. Raised by a fallen Nade clan and marked by a forbidden bloodline, Kai'vier stands between two worlds that hate him. To the Nades, he is a disgrace, a stain on their purity. To the humans, he’s an outsider with too much Nade in his veins. But for Kai'vier, the Tradition is more than a fight for survival—it’s a battle for revolution. If he can survive deaths razor-sharp claws, the brutal Nade warriors, and the deadly isolation of the island, he could become a symbol of hope for the oppressed, and the spark that ignites a rebellion.
His fight is no longer just for survival—it’s for revolution. But in a world where trust is a weapon and betrayal is inevitable, can one hybrid change the fate of his own kind?
