How many times can a man cheat death before he loses himself to the monster within?
In the gladiatorial arena, Killien is the undefeated champion--a savage and bloodthirsty role he must play to keep his family alive.
But in the underground fighting pits, he is no one. Each fight earns the prince more coin. Each fight is slowly bleeding the life from him. Each fight he loses more of himself to the monster within. Killien is beaten, bloodied, and on the brink of insanity, but the greedy prince refuses to pull him out.
His life, and the lives of those he loves, depend on him continuing to fight, to cheat death, and to win. His only hope of survival may mean giving into the voice in his head – the vengeful monster within that desperately seeks to be unleashed upon the world.
