Everdying

The first book in a two-part story.

Seventeen-year-old Kahlen should be dead—but death is only the beginning. Stripped of her memories, she’s thrust into a brutal year-long training designed to eliminate the weak. To survive, she must prove herself in 7 deadly trials… or face permanent erasure. But Kahlen is different. As she fights to stay alive, fragments of her past resurface, revealing a truth far more sinister than she ever imagined.

Winning the trials should be the end of her fight, but it’s just the beginning. The victors don’t simply earn a second chance at life—they’re bound to protect a mortal soul, a task that could cost Kahlen more than she’s willing to give. The more she learns, the more she realizes some fates are far worse than death. In a world where power is everything, the dead don’t stay dead, and the truth is buried deep, Kahlen must uncover who she was, what she is, and how far she’s willing to go to survive.
