''BORN TO FIGHT FOR HIS KINGDOM....BRED TO DIE FOR HIS KING!"

Clay is slave-born! Part of a sadistic slave-breeding institution that has produced an endless supply of disposable warriors for nearly three hundred years.
To the wealthy citizens of Bospor, Clay is in-human and worthless. A vile animal. A beast!
His upbringing is a daily ordeal of unimaginable pain and suffering. His childhood defined by discrimination and hate. Yet his purpose in life, is all too clear. He will fight, and die, for Bospor.
All slave warriors are raised by the laws of steel and blood. After sixteen winters, they must face their destiny; the brutal test to enter 'Sovek'. Only there can they die with honour, defending the northern border against the savage horsemen of the Scythian Empire.
Those who fail, face a grim alternative....The Death Games! They are taken to the city, so the free people of Bospor can watch them die in the arena. Either way, whether they fight at Sovek or on the sand, life is short and death is certain.
But Clay is different! The shackles of slavery cannot contain his strength, and the tight grip of tyranny will not break his spirit. He is invincible....he will carve his own destiny.
