Phobos VII: A Gladiator's Fall from Glory

By Bruce Bland

What can resist a strong heart and a mighty sword?

Stas, a boy who has grown up in the shadow of gladiators, sees glory as the only goal in his life.

He was raised with a single purpose: to win acclaim in the arena. With his talent and unique abilities, he is all but guaranteed a career of privilege, fortune, and adulation.

But the world is much more than the fickle triumphs of a young gladiator. Behind the magic and marble lies a dying corpse. The grandeur of the city is bought by blood and misery.

After an illicit excursion outside the gilded walls of his school leads to an accidental death, a quarrel with the law, and an encounter with a merciless serial killer, Stas's eyes are forced open.

Stas has all the reasons he needs to go against the world, to set himself against his home and the immortal monster that rules it.

Will Stas fan the flames of revolution against a city that thrives on the destruction of life?

Will he be crushed into its history like all the rest before him?
