I loved a fair boy once... and I still do.
Everything I thought I knew has been turned on its head.

Yet here we are, and the trials continue.
I need allies to survive but it's every man for himself out there in the sea. My magic is still dormant. My head is a mess.
This time around, I know it's going to be hard. Deciding who to save, who to end.
What to hope for.
My goal? To make it out of the arena alive and figure it out from there.
My disadvantage? I'm still human and I feel like my heart is breaking. How do I fight with a broken heart?
These trials, held in the sea, may be the death of me.
My dilemma? I shouldn't let myself get tangled up with emotions or with the king's handsome sword, the dragon summoner. I know better than that.
I hadn't counted on falling for him, hating him and yet needing him.
Not with my first love back in the picture.
I hadn't counted on a small dragon making me cry, on my mind being stormy like the sea. I thought I could see everything clearly, I thought I was a blade honed to fight.
But I am a thorn. Always have been.
And the shadows are closing in.
