Decline

Technology has changed the bloody landscape of battle, but all he knows is the blade. Can he claim his warrior's birthright and still survive?

Tyrobus Daelekon would cross the galaxy to be a legendary warrior like his father. So when the grizzled general commits he and his twin brother to a deadly tournament with alien enemies, he's thrilled to finally seize his destiny. But he fears his sibling's willingness to break their ancient blood oath could shame their entire family and doom them to ritual execution.

Readying his blade for battle, Tyrobus is shocked when an outlaw accuses his brother of theft and murder...and vanishes into thin air. And even if they manage to escape punishment, he has no idea how his sword skills alone can match foreign soldiers with advanced weapons and killer magic.

Can Tyrobus prove the power of the old ways before his bloodline dies in disgrace?
