In an attempt to stop the war ravaging his country, nineteen-year-old Steven Castellen finds himself in a world of kings and killers, empresses and monsters.
 
When the king of New Iberia presents a loophole to end the war in a hand-to-hand fight against the enemy dictator, the world-renowned prizefighter finds little reason to refuse.

With Blood Challenges banned in the Central Territories, Steven must move to a foreign kingdom to gain citizenship, as well as prepare for his most ruthless opponent yet. If Steven wins, the war ends. If he loses, Central will fall, its people enslaved or left to burn.

Steven is not the only one to commit to the violent rite, unlikely allies stepping forward. With cunning minds and sharp tongues at work to end Steven’s life before he sets foot into the pit, Steven finds he has to fight for far more than he may have the strength for.

There may not be anything worth saving by the time Steven finds himself facing their last chance at ending the bloodshed.
