Deep in the bowels of the Coliseum of the mighty Astrolian Empire, the orphan, Sol, is, raised by a makeshift family of guards and fellow slaves to become the most famed Gladiator in all the land. Alongside K'nal, his giant Frorian fighting partner, Sol must battle cunning warriors and fantastic beasts to delight the crowd and stay alive. But when, an oppressed populace transforms Sol into a revolutionary folk hero, the Empire sends its most ruthless assassin to put an end to the uprising. Sol's only chance is to do what no slave has ever done: escape from the Coliseum and the only home he's ever known.
