most powerful and honorable will be chosen. Teo, the
seventeen-year-old trans son of the goddess of birds, isn't

Trials, and even if his best friend Niya competes, she's a
born-and-bred Gold semidios with unparalleled abilities. But for
the first time in over a century, Sol chooses not one, but two Jade
competitors: Teo - and Xio, the thirteen-year-old child of the god
of bad luck. With the odds stacked against them, Teo is determined
to get himself and his friends through the trials unscathed - for
fame, glory, and their own survival . . .
