Years ago, a boxing champion named
Mammoth was exiled and imprisoned. Now, a decade later, he punches his way out of prison, ready to return to the family, title and country he' d left behind. It's a land in which man, beast, dragon and champion stride a battlefield and either raise gloves in triumph... or taste canvas in defeat. Journeying across this changed America, Mammoth must train a grassroots army of pirate champions, irritable sea dwarves and talking, boxing polar bears to dethrone an unjust king and the evil councilor who' d exiled him years before.
An original boxing fantasy tale,
Kings & Canvas explores the lengths a man will go to find purpose after life, liberty and career have passed him by. Simply described as "
Game of Thrones meets Rocky Balboa" (but with sea dwarves, pirate referees and talking, boxing dragons),
Kings and Canvas is a tale of dynasties, boxing, family and revenge...in a new world where honor is gained not by using guns or swords, but rather fists, wits and the courage to change.
