Bloodshed is coming It's simple. Six Houses Twelve Heirs Only Two Blood Bound tributes can win and bring home victory. Acalan has a duty to the empire he will inherit, and his sister Metztli has to make sure she keeps Acalan alive long enough to see his rule come to fruition. Together, both siblings must compete in the Tournament and win, but nothing in the empire is quite as it seems, and destiny has plans of its own. Only one thing is certain for the two heirs of the House of Life. Sacrifices must be made.
