In the tenth book of this hit fantasy series, a warrior will learn, no matter how many battles he wins, there’s one inevitable truth: nobody’s invincible.

Victor Sandoval―aka Lord Victor, Duke of Iron Mountain―has continued to expand his legendary status fighting for the kingdom of Gloria in the world of Rhun, where savage duels between champions are the ultimate deciders of fate. But his trials in the arena pale in comparison to what comes next.

As mightily as Victor employs his battle axe, he knows he has much to learn. Under the loving tutelage of the dragon woman Tes, his arcane power is climbing to new heights. But enemies are taking note. Even as the enigmatic veil walkers watch his duels with keen interest, whispers of betrayal stir among them―traitors willing to subvert Ruhn’s ancient rule of law. Will Victor’s strength and resolve be enough to withstand their schemes, or will his rising legend make him the target of forces that refuse to be bound by honor?

Meanwhile, an overconfident Victor faces off against an opponent who proves to be more than a match. Specifically, a warrior sent to end him once and for all, wielding a weapon beyond darkness known as the Curse of the Void. Its only purpose: eat Victor alive . . .
