The Tournament of Scepters

For fifteen years, Michael Kensington was hidden from the world.

Homeschooled, sheltered, and painfully awkward, Michael longs for something more than the four walls he’s always known.

On his fifteenth birthday, his aunt Anne finally grants him freedom. Only one day outside the house. But what was supposed to be a quick trip to the marketplace changes everything when Michael is swept up in the drafting for the 56th Annual Tournament of Scepters… and chosen as one of its champions.

Now trapped in a brutal competition where only the strongest survive, Michael must fight for his life against seasoned opponents. All this despite having no training, no experience, and no choice.

With the help of unexpected friends, Michael must navigate a world far more dangerous than he ever imagined, survive the tournament, and find a way back home... if he lives long enough.

A thrilling fantasy adventure about courage, friendship, and survival, perfect for readers who love high-stakes tournaments, unlikely heroes, and coming-of-age journeys.

Enter the tournament… and fight to survive.
