A novel about damnation, hope, and redemption. Hidden beneath the abandoned city of Bimini lies the most damned place on earth. It's a place where the innocent are reborn into monsters; a place where the spirits of the dead shed tears; and a place where Allegra can only dream of escaping. Welcome to the Arena. Week after week, the blood of adolescent boys soaks the ground as they're forced to fight in deadly matches, all for the pleasure of twisted criminals. None is worse than Ryker, Allegra's master, who watches the fights with money in his eye and whiskey on his breath. She's survived for this long, but it's only a matter of time before she succumbs to his cruelty as well. Can salvation come in the form of a homeless boy, rechristened as Dog, who's been unstoppable inside the ring? Or will his heart be eclipsed by violence, leaving him doomed to be another dead monster? In the Arena, you're either a killer or a victim.

I sat up on my bed and stared out the glass. The sky was a light tint of purple and I could tell that we were at least four stories up because I could see the roofs of a stretch of houses that lasted beyond the horizon. The houses were oddly shaped too; they were rounded prisms with domes that were a multitude of colors. There were a few circular shaped windows for each unit. This did not look like Earth. Bad luck was definitely on my side. Fortune? More like misfortune. --- Highest Rank: #250 Science Fiction --- NEW CHAPTER AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK!
