It was not what he was expecting.  Students are pitted against eachother with one goal: only the best will make it through. Each victory provides another upper hand, each loss a crushing blow. Every choice he makes, every enemy, alliance, or act of mercy, could be his last.  Thankfully, Steven has a secret of his own. He is a Kismet, one of the fated, with a magic-like skill to give him an edge.  Will it be enough?  Book 1 finished.
