Новинки Александра Дарвина

Столетия назад на истерзанной планете народы заключили Клятвенное перемирие, чтобы раз и навсегда покончить с войнами. Свои интересы они доверили отстаивать высокопрофессиональным бойцам, рыцарям-гриварам, в рукопашных поединках. Одним из этих прославленных рыцарей был Мюррей Пирсон. Был до того момента, когда проиграл бой, от которого зависела дальнейшая судьба его родины. Теперь он всего лишь скаут Цитадели, охотник за потенциальными чемпионами. В мрачных трущобах Подземья сражается на арене юный беспризорник по имени Сего. Мюррей верит, что этот подросток достоин поступления в Лицей, престижнейшее заведение, где лучшие мастера боевых…

In a world long ago ravaged by war, the nations have sworn an armistice never to use weapons of mass destruction again. Instead, highly-skilled warriors known as Grievar Knights represent their nations’ interests in brutal hand-to-hand combat.

Murray Pearson was once a famed Knight until he suffered a loss that crippled his homeland—but now he’s on the hunt to discover the next champion.

In underground and ruthless combat rings, an orphaned boy called Cego is making a name for himself. Murray believes Cego has what it takes to thrive in the world's most prestigious combat academy–but first, Cego must prove himself in the vicious arenas of the underworld. And survival isn’t guaranteed.

Explosive action, epic battles, and brutal struggles for survival collide in this non-stop, adrenaline fueled science fiction debut.

"That rare book that fully satisfies me as an action fan." – Fonda Lee, author of Jade City​

"A book about warriors written by a master of the martial arts, and the mastery shows." – Evan Winter, author of The Rage of Dragons

We fight, so the rest shall not have to.
In a world where single combat determines the fate of nations, the Grievar fight so that the rest can remain at peace.
Cego is a mysterious Grievar boy forced to fight his way out of the slave Circles into the world's most prestigious combat school.
At the Lyceum, Cego will learn a variety of martial arts from eclectic teachers, develop deep bonds of friendship and fight against contentious rivals to climb the school's rankings.
But, Cego will find far more than combat studies at the Lyceum. He will find the mystery of his past unraveled by forces greater than he could ever imagine.
