Every 26,000 years, the games begin. This time, they must end. When the sky fractures above major cities worldwide, an ancient system activates—the Phoenix Ascension—a cosmic game where death is merely a doorway. Twenty-seven-year-old Tris Morgan has always sensed he doesn't belong. When his twin flame reveals his true nature, Tris learns humanity has nine years before everything resets. Again. Scattered across the globe, eleven others share his cosmic resonance. Though strangers, they find themselves inexplicably drawn together as the games intensify. The Phoenix Ascension is more than a test—it's a prison designed by beings known as the Anunnaki, who have shaped human history from the shadows. With each death in the games, fragments of an ancient truth emerge. This cycle holds a different potential—not just for those playing the game, but for the fate of reality itself. The Anunnaki's grasp is weakening, and the ancient ones are awakening.  The memory of Tara stirs.  The games have begun. This story is a work of fiction and passion. ( • ⩊ • ) Dare to dream.
