Description:When a tyrant rules, a people fail. In the desert kingdom of Aziza, Absalom Ferik rules with an iron hand. His edicts flow from vice, his power made sure by sorcery. Every sixth year, the throne is held in the balance, a contest of mortal nature. Any man or woman, from any district or province may fight for the chance to best the king and rule in his stead. Should a single king maintain his rule through five contests, the throne is his for life. Through every interval and every contest, the people have clung to the hope that one would rise to challenge, to overcome. On the eve of Ferik’s final battle for the throne, the hope of Aziza has all but been extinguished. But a prophecy has been uttered, a word has gone forth, of a challenger who would prevail. Through spell and magic, treachery and blood, Ferik has silenced that single hope down through the years… Until now… Brayden of the Merkai seeks no kingdom, desires no crown. He comes to Aziza to slay a King and avenge a mother. A mercenary and rogue of the highest order, his tongue is as sharp as his blade. While his strength can be bought, if the gold is heavy and the cause is just, he comes to the coliseum only to be paid in blood. Alina, of the Sisters of Serenity, seeks the crown, not for gain, but for mercy. The Sisterhood has dedicated themselves to the service of the poor and the lost, to defend the weak. Their skills are charity, their hearts for peace, but when these noble paths prove insufficient salve to the people’s wounds, Alina’s strength can be found also in her sword, and in her daggers. She comes to the Basilica of Aziza as a last resort, to assuage the people’s ills and for their cause, she seeks to bring down a despot. Come along on an epic journey, a fantasy, full of whit and humor, romance, nobility, and sacrifice. Feel the heat of mortal combat, the pain of loss, and the thrill of battle as a tyrant seeks to maintain his rule, and a people look for the yoke of oppression to be lifted from them, all By the Sword…We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
