The Eset Clair Cypher

"If you are lucky enough to survive the slums of Traol, the streets of Edinu will strip you of your sanity as soon as you take a step onto its corrupted streets... "

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

In Edinu, the Challengers don't fight for fame or for money. They fight for their lives.

Slaves to the elite and traitors to their kind, the only life a Challenger can live is amongst the Challengers. Trained to fight to the death, it is kill or be killed, and Osiris has only ever known the act of sacrificing another's soul to spare his own. But time is running out, and even a being instructed to kill can only murder for so long before Death comes to collect its due.

With the aid of another Challenger, and an unsuspecting allie, Osiris will have to discover if a life is worth living if one has never lived it at all. Or if Death was the true companion he had been searching for all along.
