To save the girl he loves, Fish must walk into the Mighty Arena--a place where heroes die screaming.

Branch lies bruised, Weed is chained as collateral, and thirty prisoners' lives hang on Fish's first bout. Worse, the finger-eating High Priestess called the Punisher has wagered her empire that the Rule Changer will fall, while the glass-eating Oriacan armies march ever closer to Megalopolis. With traitors in the stands and prophecy on his shoulders, Fish has one chance to turn an enemy coliseum into the spark of revolution.

Win the arena and free thirty souls. Lose, and a prophecy drowns in blood.
