It's a hard life in Lower Bajebluff. Where an outcast boy must fight to keep what's his, and friends turn on each other to take what's theirs. But Simeon's got a sharp mind and a special talent for writing. He's taken in as a seminary scribe-until a forbidden romance with a noble's daughter puts an end to Simeon's life of study. Judged a criminal and cast out of the seminary, he's sentenced to the Escola, the kingdom's most infamous school for gladiators. There, the scribe is remade into a warrior. A master swordsman. A champion of the arena, who spits at the gods he once served. How high can a godless gladiator rise before he's cast down? What weapon can he wield to win his freedom? Who can he trust in the shadowy underworld of the arena? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMatthew C. (\"Matt\") Lucas lives in Tampa with his wife, two sons, a dog, and an axolotl.
