Shadow of the Titans

Champions Ascension, Volume 1

By: W Ryan Kaufman, Johnny Casamassina, Jairo Nieto, Troy Whitlock

Narrated by: Owen Thomas, Cissy Jones

The blare of trumpets. The roar of a blood-thirsty crowd. The hack of metal upon flesh. Enter the Colosseum Eternal of Massina: a fantasy world where godlike gladiators clash in a brutal battle for glory.

Outside its walls, the city of Massina is host to a wildly diverse population of fantastic and dangerous beings, from angelic celestials to two-headed ogres. Behind the scenes, the great Houses conspire endlessly and grapple for power, as the Emperor vies to maintain control.

Experience 10 gripping tales of carnage and corruption, in a connected mosaic of stories: two brothers seek the same trophy; an ancient curse turns beautiful warriors into monsters; a young leader's rule is born in horrific assassination and betrayal; and a broken Champion finds redemption through an old enemy. Strap on your armor and step onto the blood-soaked sand. Welcome to the world of Massina, and the epic adventure of Champions Ascension.

If you like wild action-fantasy mashups like Planet Hulk, or Thor: Ragnarok, well-told fight movies like Creed or Gladiator, and the classic sword and sorcery of Conan the Barbarian, you'll love the battle-obsessed world of Champions Ascension.

Those who are about to die, salute you.

Beautiful story connected to a playable game!

This is an amazing and rich fantasy story. The Audible version is enriched with high end sound effects, fully emerging the reader. I first learned about Champions Ascension from an arena fighting game. It was truly awesome to read a deep story supporting the game. Now when I play the game I am taken back to the book details.
