"Well of Eida" by K. B. Benson

Everyone hides a monster inside. I tore mine from the inside out.

Two years have passed since Ari was taken as a prisoner to the troll realm. Two years of blood staining her hands, killing as the troll king’s mercenary. In Eida, it’s kill or be killed, and Ari will do anything to survive.

But survival does not come easy in Eida, especially for a young woman with fire in her blood.

When Ari’s sold to one of Eida’s most notorious training masters, her survival comes with a price: unleash the monster she’s buried inside. A very real and very dangerous creature no opponent can defeat.

Ari expects to kill. She expects to survive. But she doesn’t expect her growing feelings for the man who has claimed her as his. Together, Ari and her master will cut down every opponent in the arena seeking to win a wish from their king.

Until a man from her past challenges her within those walls, and everything Ari has fought for crumbles. All for a man she once loved. But if she is to save her own life, she must take his.

After all, everyone dies in Eida.

 

For fans of The Hunger Games and the Grishaverse—your next epic fantasy obsession is here.

Well of Eida is a spellbinding upper YA/new adult fantasy filled with mythical creatures, dragons, and a swoon-worthy enemies-to-lovers romance. With a unique magic system, morally grey characters, and a slow-burn hate-to-love packed with tension (but no spice), this immersive tale delivers betrayal, heartbreak, and high-stakes adventure.

Perfect for readers who crave immersive worldbuilding, strong heroines, emotional twists, and characters you’ll love—even when you shouldn't.
