From publisher blurb:
The war-torn lands of Karnaxos beckon the bold, the reckless, and the damned. At the heart of the blackened wastes, where the bones of fallen empires lie half-buried in the ash, the Trial of Mournfire is announced once more. Warriors from across the realm, from the savage frontiers to the gilded halls of dying monarchs, heed the call. The reward? Glory, power, and the right to shape their own fate. Yet, within the ruined coliseum of Zar’Karesh, something stirs beneath the stone. An ancient horror, long sealed away by forgotten rites, watches from the abyss. The trial is no mere contest of arms—it is a lure, a sacrifice, a cruel jest played by something that has slumbered too long and hungers for the blood of the strong.
