Ascent of Angels
For two hundred years, The Fallen have competed in the tournament. They've never survived past round two. Until now.
Every year, humanity watches the Ascent of Angels. It's a gladiatorial tournament broadcast across all seven sealed ecosystems of a ring-shaped starship called the Exsta. Teams race to find the golden trumpets. People die. The crowd watches.
For two hundred years, the Fallen — a selection of the ship's criminals and outcasts — have entered the tournament and lost. Badly. But this year, things could be different. And it's not clear if the system can survive.
A series about class warfare, inherited guilt, and the difference between winning a game and changing the system.
