The Librarian Gladiator

In the isolated village of Hamelin, the citizens face a dire threat from fierce, flying beasts, leading the leaders to seek guidance from their god, the Provider. This results in the brutal Tournament of the Kindred, where gladiators compete for life and glory, with dire consequences for the losers and their families. Neven Oakfall, a young historian and librarian, is unexpectedly chosen to participate, forcing him to summon the courage to fight not only for his own survival but also for the future of his community against a lurking evil. As the tournament unfolds, the stakes grow ever higher, and Neven realizes much more hangs in the balance than he initially understood.
