The great land of Larnast, a continent hidden within raging seas, was cursed. The "Gift of the King" inflicted its people with immortality, and created a Land Without Death. Life and memory slowly lost all meaning, and the afflicted faded to husks of their former selves.

Katherine of Estheria was guided to this blighted land by the voice of a god, determined to vanquish the curse forever, but in the face of her final challenge her patron fell silent. Without anyone to guide her the crusade was doomed to failure, and the King's blessing took hold of her as well.

Years have passed. A new god now whispers of a chance at redemption, but under one condition: She must abandon her old strength, and be born anew.

"Through Trials and Failure" is a LitRPG about what happens after giving up, rebirth both literal and psychological, and surviving in a hostile world where hope is often elusive, but always present in some way.
