Adventure. Competition. A duel to the death.
While on a journey to the famous city of Thronehold, Volke Savan learns of the Sovereign Dragon Tournament. The massive celebration involves hundreds of arcanists competing for fame and glory, and Volke is determined to win.
Dark forces dwell in the city, however, and rumors of the legendary world serpent spread amongst the shadows. Whoever bonds with a god-like mystical creature will gain magic beyond compare, and the queen’s guards suspect cutthroats will use the chaos of the tournament to hide their plotting.
Unsure of who to trust, Volke investigates the terrible rumors while advancing in the ranks of the tournament. Unfortunately, the true villain may be closer than he realizes…

Read an Excerpt
Once Zaxis had dressed, we descended the long staircase to the ground floor. Forsythe flew ahead of us, since he hated walking and Zaxis said he was too big to carry. He made it to the library long before we reached the halfway point. I wore my long coat, leather boots, and thick belt—a buccaneer’s outfit, like most individuals who traveled long distances on a ship—but Zaxis had gone a strange route.
He wore no coat and instead pulled at the edges of the shirt I had given him. It was too small, even though I was a few inches taller. The shirt technically fit, though it stretched tight across his chest and biceps, strained by the new muscle. Zaxis tried to adjust the fabric, but nothing worked.
And instead of one belt, he had two—one to hold his trousers, and the other to hold a leather pouch and his new gloves.
The lax style made him seem more like a thug than a professional, but his bronze pendant eliminated doubt. Pirates and cutthroats didn’t adhere to the guild system of identification.
Before we reached the library, he placed a hand on my shoulder. We stopped, and he stared at me with a half-serious, half-flustered expression, like he didn’t want to speak, but couldn’t stop himself.
“I’ve spent a few evenings with Illia,” Zaxis said, curt. “Just talking. Don’t get the wrong idea.”
I lifted an eyebrow, tenser than I had thought I would be. “Okay.”
“The problem is—she talks about you. A lot. It gets annoying.”
“We did grow up together. And none of the other kids associated with us much.”
Zaxis huffed and then pulled me close. “I thought you said you would help me get in her good graces.”
My Review:
Volke Savan embarks on a journey to the city of Thronehold.
While on his adventure Volke hears that there is going to be a Sovereign Dragon
Tournament with hundreds of participants competing to win. Volke thinks he has
what it takes to win so sets out to win the tournament.
There are rumors of the legendary world serpent being close
by. Rumors state that whoever bonds with the creature will have magical powers
beyond belief. So you can imagine the number of people who may have volunteered
for the job so now the hunt is on for the one true person who is worthy enough
to bond with the legendary creature.
Coliseum Arcanist is filled with magic, fighting, adventure,
competition, danger plus an amazing set of characters and magical creatures. As
I have said before; I just love all the magical creatures and learning where
they came from. The world building in Coliseum Arcanist is just as amazing as
ever.
When I picked up Coliseum Arcanist I never wanted to put it
down but unfortunately I had no choice as it was a long but great story besides
when I wasn’t reading it I was thinking about it just anticipating the moment
when I could join Volke, Illia, Zelfree and the rest of the crew as they fought
their way through the tournament.
If you are a fan of fantasy, magic, magical creatures, or adventures
filled with danger then you are going to love Coliseum Arcanist. One click your
