๐˜™๐˜ถ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ by David K. Hall is a story of a Northman with extreme power. It is a story that documents a game of power and a show of might.ย 

Ruin had served for a millennium with loyalty to Sir Rattles-a-Lot before being banished to a harsh realm and inheriting the body of a Northman called Skarde.

Ruin is then sold as a slave to Newport, a town belonging to the Aurelium Empire. While slaves could be sold to serve different purposes, Ruin's dream is that he manages to rise as a gladiator who will bask in glory in the arena and ultimately claim dominion over his new world. While serving as a slave, Governor Anton Tiberius comes looking for gladiators who will fight in the upcoming tournaments and ones that will help him restore Ludus Magnus to its former glory.ย 

Anton Tiberius buys Ruin and promises him that if he helps him regain his father's legacy, he will grant Ruin freedom.ย 

Will Ruin attain his dream of gaining fame as a top-ranked gladiator? Will he restore Anton's much-needed legacy and attain the promised freedom? Grab a copy of ๐˜™๐˜ถ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ and unravel the answers to these questions as you enjoy every chapter of it.ย 

๐˜™๐˜ถ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ is an extremely engaging book packed with magic and supremacy battles. I loved every chapter of this book. The author carefully put together a story that holds the reader's attention from the beginning to the end.ย 

I loved how the author molded the key characters. Ruin is a character who illustrates extreme power and ability. Anton Tiberius is illustrated as a leader who carefully leads his companions towards an intended goal. Other characters I loved reading about included Serpens and Emperor Valerius.ย 

I did not find any scene in this book that could turn me off or make me dislike the book. I enjoyed every chapter from the beginning to the end.ย 

I give this book a ๐Ÿ“ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ“ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ซ rating. This book was professionally and flawlessly edited. I didn't meet any typo errors while reading it. The story flows seamlessly from the first chapter to the last chapter. I recommend it to persons aged 12-18 and to readers who like magical stories.

Amazing the authors' fascination with the North; it always seems there is something mystical about that region, regardless of the story (I just finished reading a book about the Chronicles of the Northland)! Your review has awakened in me the desire to read this bookโ€”stories of magic are already fascinating on their own, but when combined with supremacy battles, they make the work even more intriguing.

I might be old for this story but this seems like a well-constructed fantasy novel with magic and powers. Ruin's adventure seems engaging, also thanks to the supremacy battles. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)
