Alexander is coming of age and the Mortal Games is here: a once in five year event that brings together all empires' Combatants, Gladiators and Champions, who bring their best athletes and worst criminals.
Now, the dragon, Skullak Rakskull, calls for him, while Malum's armies are readying to march to confront the boy for the relic he wears, the Hartvansteen, that has recently been unveiled and given to him by his guardian, Archmaster.
Alexander's need to fulfill his father's expectations forces him to act out a role he disagrees with; he is tormented by what is his birthright.
