About this listen
Fight fantasy monsters in epic tournaments, gain fame in colosseums across the galaxy, cross swords with blademasters, chainsaw wielding cyborgs, and … Peewee Herman?
In 2488, Battle Quest, an arrow shooting, sword fighting, magic slinging live action RPG, is the most popular sport in the universe.
Tal works in a trash dump by day and fights in a street samurai pit by night. He dreams of becoming a Battle Quest pro to pull his sisters and grandmother from the slums. Problem is he’s too short, too broke, and his highlight vid-reel has more fails than an ogre’s got warts.
Hilde steamrolls the amateur circuits. She goes off-planet to join a minor league team only to discover they’re better equipped for butt-shaking than sword-swinging.
When Hilde’s humiliating match goes galactic viral, and when Tal becomes a washed-up agent’s last hope, they both get their big breaks—rookie free agent tryouts at the Cyrus Supernovas training camp.
To make the team they’ll need unorthodox training. They’ll need to avoid death by lava troll. They’ll need a seriously good game of rock, paper, scissors.
