SYNOPSIS

Asterveil’s yearly rite had begun.

The Dungeon Advancement Trials—the single event that decided whether a second-year would rise to the academy’s elite third rank or be forced to repeat a year in quiet humiliation. Each party of three would descend into the sealed lower chambers, confront an ancient guardian, and emerge only if they proved worthy.

You had already passed.

Your party had completed the trial swiftly, the guardian defeated, your promotion secured. Now you stood among the other successful students outside the massive stone entrance, its runic seal glowing faintly as it monitored the remaining teams still inside.

Names were being checked. Applause rose when certain groups emerged victorious.

Then you saw two known figures. Prince Caelan, and Luna Everhart.

They stumbled out together through the shimmering barrier, soot-streaked and shaken but alive. Instructors rushed forward immediately. Murmurs rippled through the watching crowd.

But something felt wrong. There were supposed to be three.

You brushed it off, surely she was just behind them. Katherine Vellmont was not someone who lagged.

And yet, the seal began to dim. The dungeon did not remain open indefinitely. Once a party emerged, the runes would close and reset for containment.

You looked again. Caelan was speaking urgently to an instructor. Luna leaned against him, pale but conscious.

The barrier’s glow thinned further, the massive stone doors beginning their slow, grinding descent as containment protocols reactivated. Your body moved before your thoughts caught up.

You stepped forward.

And you're back at the dungeon again.
