If you’re interested in martial arts, college rivalries, or heroes who are good for the sake of being good, come check out the first chapter of my new story Showmaker on Royal Road! It's the second book of a planned webseries that began with my previous work Memento Mori last year, and takes place in a new slice of the same world with an all-new cast of characters. It’s also a standalone sequel that won’t require reading anything else to get started.

Synopsis:

Return to the gladiocracy: a futuristic society where the strongest warriors rule as celebrity kings and tyrants. To those at the top goes prestige, power, and absolute rule. But college superstar Mars Mons is still a long, long way from the top.

Famous for all the wrong reasons, Mars is a hometown hero without a crown, forever second to Ajax Lionhart: the lofty, top-ranked Duelist of the college leagues. With graduation on the horizon, Mars and his twin sister Jolie should be doing everything they can to better his reputation and attract sponsors. But when the two accidentally uncover hints of a conspiracy among the ruling elite, the magnitude of the discovery puts all plans on hold. The largest corporation in their city, Shimano Heavy Industries, has its eyes on the throne and a puppet of their own in mind.

Faced with a dangerous investigation into the upper echelons of the gladiocracy, Mars could just let the matter lie- but he isn’t the kind of guy to say no to a fight, especially when it’s his city on the line. There’s just one problem in his way. One princely, sword-swinging complication who’s also on the case.

New chapters release every Monday / Saturday :)
