Washed Up - Eden Mae

Blane returns to Atronia expecting recognition, fame, glory, and a cheering crowd of fans, but finds none of it. 

Determined to prove himself the hero he claims to be, he enters the 31st Jubilee Tournament, certain he’ll win. Until Lucy. A fiery elf who dominates the competition, and Blane along with it. She’s not just his rival; she’s everything he isn’t. But when a giant from the east kidnaps Blane’s twin brother, Jared, their rivalry turns into necessity.

Together, they race across Atronia in search of a hidden scroll-their only hope of saving him. But as danger closes in and time runs out, one thing becomes clear: not every battle ends in victory.

A fast-paced fantasy adventure featuring a magical tournament, rival-to-allies tension, and a high-stakes quest. Perfect for readers who love character-driven stories where heroes don’t always win.
