SYNOPSIS
IN THE ARENA, YOU’RE EITHER A KILLER OR A VICTIM.
If survival meant murdering an innocent person in cold blood every week, could you do it? Are you able to stick the knife into your opponent’s heart while they look at you with fear in their eyes? Life in the Arena turns everyone into sinners.
A homeless boy is kidnapped from the streets and finds himself imprisoned in a far more horrifying place: the Arena, a place where teenage boys fight to the death for the pleasure of various lowlifes in a modern gladiator pit.
The Arena is the brainchild of Ryker, an ex-convict addicted to alcohol, gladiatorial combats, and money. When not devising new ways for boys to kill each other, he’s ruling his small empire with a ruthless fist, rewarding his guards with riches and punishing those who oppose him with barbaric executions.
Renamed Dog, the boy from the streets must turn himself into a killing machine if he is to continue surviving, but as he leaves a trail of bodies in his wake, he is haunted by the ghosts of the slain boys and the violence threatens to wake a beast inside him.
Allegra, a slave girl in the Arena and a victim of Ryker’s constant abuse, is his only key to salvation. She has lost everything already — her family, her innocence, and her dignity — while her will to live hangs on by a thin thread. Can she save Dog’s humanity before she too succumbs to the horrors of the Arena?
As Dog’s power grows as the Arena’s champion, so does his defiance against Ryker, setting the stage for a brutal conclusion, which can only end in death.
A tale about survival, tragedy, and human perseverance, SHADOW OF WRATH is the prequel of the Sins of the 7 series.
DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE THE ARENA?
