Birthmarks declare her damned, and her penance for the sins from a past life is a touch that spreads bad luck like poison.

Anyone may compete, but only the desperate and the foolish ever join. No one knows what happens in the glass fortress during the trials, only that those who survive never leave unbroken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the magic suffused walls of the fortress, Narra quickly realises there is more at risk than her life and her family.
