Betrayed by his closest friends, Ron is captured by the Kreete and sent to the fortress city of Huinrag. There he suffers through the most horrendous atrocities one can imagine as the Lords relentlessly try to rend information from him about the Caronian militia. When they fail however, those in power decide to send him to the Retribution Games...a series of gladiator-style bouts against every imaginable foe, both man and beast. Intended to be a death sentence, the games turn out to be more of a boon for the indomitable warrior though, and soon Ron is known across the face of Caron by a new moniker...'Shartae the Invincible'. Always on the lookout for an opportunity, he finally escapes that hellish life in a spectacular and insane way, only to end up lost in the wilds at the very brink of death.Fate steps in yet again to deliver him to a family of farmers who cast aside the penalties they face and nurse him back to health. Ron bonds with his caretaker in a profound way, finding peace and safety that restore his humanity...but that is not to be either. Back into the perilous life he'd previously chosen, Ron sets out to confront those who'd betrayed him, looking for revenge, but his plan unfurls in a decidedly less than a perfect way.Conflicted, hurt, and confused, Ron hastens back to his new love only to find that reality has been shattered as well, and it takes every shred of his willpower and intelligence to get a grip on what awaits him.
