Description
It's Game of Thrones meets Avatar: The Last Airbender in this action-packed science-fiction/fantasy adventure series. The Games are already underway when Richard Aldana arrives in town. This mysterious stranger smokes cigarettes and wears a leather jacket while everyone else in the medieval realm is casting spells and weaving tapestries. Nobody knows what to make of him, but when Aldana enrols in the games he quickly becomes a top contender. Eschewing magic and using only his martial arts prowess, Aldana also befriends and protects a small boy named Adrian. Who will win the games? Who is Richard Aldana, really? And what is the ultimate purpose of this gruelling gladiatorial contest?
