an apple that falls when it's ripe.
You have to make it fall.❞

The Elysian Empire controls more than fifty percent of the galaxy. Hundreds of planets and thousands of slaves under its rule. Iggy Amrada, a teenaged salt miner on the planet Novr, wants nothing more than to protect his sick mother and escape the oppressive empire. After an altercation with an Elysian official, Iggy is ripped away from his mother and whisked away to Elysium Prime, forced to become a contestant in the infamous gladiator games.

Not only must he learn to survive in the arena, but he must also navigate the insidious world of Elysian politics and the growing sentiments of rebellion sparking like wildfire throughout the galaxy. He's soon left with a choice; fight or be destroyed.
