In the science-fantasy adventure novel, the survivors of a failed colonization mission find themselves embroiled in the struggles between warring kingdoms on a new planet. As the beautiful gladiator, Alexis, rises to power, the bookish linguist, Duncan, must fend for himself and challenge the nation’s High Priest in a contest of divine favor, with the loser facing death. This series, The Misfits of Gambria, offers a thrilling reworking of a former series that is in no way similar to a well-known TV show.
