Survive the Trials. Defy the System. Protect What You Love.

Every year, the Collectives of Nexum send their elected representatives into the Reclamation Run, a brutal gauntlet of deadly trials where victory means food, medicine, and clean water for your people and failure means death. Brexlyn Hollis never wanted the title of Challenger, but when her little brother’s life hangs in the balance, she steps into the arena determined to win.

Inside the Run, nothing is as it seems. There’s Ezra, the criminal, Zaffir, the cold-eyed Praxis puppet, and other competitors like Thorne and Briar, each with their own reasons for risking everything.

But as the Trials turn darker and the true cost of the Reclamation Run is unveiled, Brexlyn discovers she’s more than just another pawn in Praxis’s game. There’s a storm building inside her, one they never saw coming.

For the will of the people. We survive.

In the heart of the dangerous Reclamation Run, Brexlyn found more than allies. She found a family worth fighting for, worth bleeding for. Now, there are whispers of a rebellion—a buried spark just waiting for someone brave, or reckless, enough to light it. Enter the Runaways...survivors, fighters, and dreamers. And maybe, Brexlyn is exactly what they’ve been waiting for.

She never asked to lead a revolution. But she’ll be damned if she lets Praxis steal another future.

With the ones she loves at her side, Brexlyn will tear down the world that tried to break them. Freedom is within reach, but the cost might be higher than she’s ever dared to risk.

Because some stars aren’t born.
Some are forged in fire.
And Brexlyn?
She’s ready to bring down the whole damn sky.
