The Azmayat - Reid S. J.

In the pocket world of Ardvaandara, the dayikama are caged by their rulers, shunned by society and bound in restricted powers and even tighter regulations by a centuries-old contract.

Sameera Al Zahrani is one of the many who live this grim reality, able to shift into just one murderous wolf, a far cry from the powerful creatures of legend. Trapped in a life of routine and hardship, she knows better than to dream of freedom-until the day she risks everything to save her younger cousin from a brutal attack.

Her bravery doesn't go unnoticed. As punishment, Sameera is forced to enter the Azmayat-a deadly trial where only the strongest survive. The odds are stacked against her; over half of the contestants will die, and every one of them has been better trained, better fed, and better equipped. With the world's bias against her pack, Sameera faces an impossible choice: go it alone and risk everything, or find allies among those who would just as soon see her dead.

As she navigates the treacherous trials, Sameera begins to realize that surviving may not be enough. With whispers of rebellion and the possibility of new alliances, she might just have the chance to change her world-if she can survive.

For fans of epic fantasy and fierce heroines, The Azmayat is a heart-pounding journey of survival, courage, and the power of defiance. Perfect for readers of New Adult and Young Adult fantasy alike.
