The Warlord has long grasped the strings of every kingdom in the world from his refuge Maldecak, an ancient castle atop a mountain carved by dragons. Caged and raised like a wild beast, Rhys discovers hidden talents she must use to survive as a child gladiator in Juran's pits. Rhys faces the worst of the world alone, until she is befriended by a meddling wizard, a grumpy troll...and one being more magnificent than them all. The story of the struggle and rise of outsider Rhys of Moira is a terrible, yet heartwarming, adventure.
