Spice 3 of 5, seven tropes and one content warning. Spice, tropes and warnings show how sure we are.

Every hundred years, the island of Lightlark surfaces to host the Centennial, a perilous contest open only to the rulers of six realms. Each ruler seeks to break the long-standing curse afflicting their realm, but success comes at a steep price: one ruler must die for the curses to end. Isla Crown, the young ruler of Wildling—a realm whose people are cursed to kill anyone they love—enters the contest carrying the hopes of her people, and must navigate deception and shifting loyalties as she fights to survive.
