A Tournament of Fools
(2023)(The fifth book in the Otherworld Saga series)
A novel by Kristopher Cruz
When Asher met the Emperor of Thryst, he had hoped to avoid being dragged into fighting in the upcoming tournament. However, the very man he sought to protect required him to not only compete, but to make it to the top!
It wasn't all bad, however, the prize for the top three included a ton of money... and a magic item from the Emperor's vaults. His vassals, Riaxis and Zake, had signed up as well, dragging along a local gang they had 'adopted' called the Foolish Five. Those reinforcements might just help him even the odds.
Now Asher has to not only participate in a tournament of the greatest fighters of the empire, but also contend with the machinations of a corrupt noble all while dodging the blades of an assassin's guild all the while. To top it all off, the reigning champion is none other than the Chariot Arcana... the emperor's right-hand woman.
All in the life of the Fool!
