The three races, elves, orcs, and humans, are locked in conflict. To lessen the bloodshed, the nations agreed to hold a tournament once every one hundred years in which a champion from each race was chosen to participate in a series of trials until one was left standing. For the 38^th tournament, the husband of Winter Stars, Lunar, has been chosen. He must leave his wife and son to travel to the arena and become the next champion for the humans, a circumstance that will certainly lead to his death. The humans, throughout the centuries, have never won a single tournament. Those in the human nation who were chosen considered it a death sentence. But before the tournament begins, Lunar and his family are met with a terrible twist of fate. A situation considered to be so morbid takes a turn for the worst.
