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

But for the first time in over a century, two Jade competitors are chosen: 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 . . .
