Cyrus, raised in the brutal bloodsport arenas of Rael, has only known survival. When a single act of defiance topples a tyrant, Cyrus finds himself at the center of a revolution, crowned in chaos.

As Cyrus navigates a world of politics, power, and war, new enemies rise and old ghosts return. While vengeance may have earned him the throne, it may not be enough to keep it.
