Blademaster

Ciara is on her way to the city of Respite to compete in the Nine Kingdoms Tournament. It's an opportunity to grow her Faith and her power, not to mention take home some huge prizes. That is, if she can get through the terrifyingly strong disciples in the tournament, including a certain evil prince with a murderous grudge against Ciara and her whole Faith. Beating the powerful disciples and making it through to the final rounds is challenge enough, but everything is not as it seems in Respite. Murder, intrigue, and plots that span the continent await as the Nine Kingdoms Tournament begins. Ciara and the other members of the Hundred Gods Faith will have to grow stronger, be sneakier, and rely on each other to survive.
