Trials for the Haunted

Haunted by the shadows of her past lives, Syn must conquer the deadliest trials of the dark realm or be consumed by her own soul.


Facing the final chance to join her people as a Legionite citizen, Syn is tasked with defending her village’s portal to Interterra—a brutal realm infested with bloodthirsty creatures. To activate the protective trap, she is tasked with a grim duty—a human sacrifice. However, when Syn’s curse strikes, her failure to complete the sacrifice triggers a devastating attack on her homeland.

Seeking redemption and a cure, Syn journeys into Interterra, entering a lethal competition to earn the title of Nighterrian, a divine warrior worshipped by her people. Winning means breaking her curse and gaining Nighterrian powers, the key to her village’s forgiveness.

However, the dark realm proves ruthless, with rivals willing to kill for victory. Suspicion grows as a conspiracy unfolds, and choosing the right ally becomes a matter of life or death.

Will she conquer her haunting and the malevolent forces of Interterra, or will the shadows of her past consume her forever?
