And the assassin caught in the middle.

Were it not for the Calderon invasion, High Prince Troga would be at the tournament-he would be there to defend his family name against the enemies who threaten it with each passing day. The Gods, however, have other plans for Troga. Seemingly pitted against him and hold his vindication and retribution hostage.

Meanwhile, Prince Tiberius looks to add yet another tournament crown to his previous two. Known around the realms of Bellinor as one of the most talented warriors of his generation, this time Tiberius seeks the one thing he cannot win by mere force.

Will Troga have the strength to save his kingdom? Will Tiberius achieve victory in the fabled tournament? Or will something happen at this year's tournament that no one could foresee? Find out in R.J Smith's gripping debut novel, perfect for fans of A Song of Ice and Fire, The Lord of the Rings, and Eragon.
