A god is watching her world die—and the only way to save it is to break her own laws.

Alta was meant to be perfect. Woven from living magic and guarded by an eternal goddess, it should have been untouchable. Yet a corruption seeps through reality itself, rotting the land, twisting faith into fanaticism, and turning salvation into something monstrous. Unable to act directly without destroying everything she loves, the goddess makes a final, desperate choice: a trial.

John was never meant to be a hero. Once a disposable scout in a ruthless corporate machine, he is torn from his world and cast into a realm wonder, hiding a flesh rending nightmare. Given impossible power, he must face merciless tests of body, mind, and soul. He must endure horrors born from his fears, self-proclaim gods that lie with honeyed voices, and a forest that feeds on despair itself. To survive, John must confront what he is, what he's done, and what he's willing to become—without surrendering his will to anything that claims to save him.

Meanwhile, in Alta's Jade Forest, Commander Fiona fights a different war. Devoted to order and survival at any cost, she serves a lord who promises safety while demanding obedience—and blood. As her world fractures and ancient truths resurface, Fiona is forced to face a harrowing question: is she protecting her people, or helping destroy them?

Alta: Trials is a dark epic fantasy of gods and monsters, false saviors and brutal choices, where power always has a price and endurance is the deadliest weapon of all. When the world is already broken, survival may demand more than faith—it may demand defiance.
