Bran has been thrust into the Trial of King before he was prepared, but even without his memories he’s still the Bran that has passed it once before.
Though, this time he won’t just do the trial once, but twice with the second time being even more dangerous than the first to ensure he can pull all of his companions through the trial with him.
He finds himself shackled and imprissoned by a Simone who leads a Mul Branova within the trials, but doesn't recognize him. Can he win her over a second time?
