What The Dead Don't See: A Short Story

In a military kingdom where the king is selected through a series of challenges and through combat, with 600 competitors in the mix, a human warrior struggles to reach the top of an alien society and claim the throne. With his inclusion in the tournament, the first human in centuries to participate, Marcus comes to uncover a deeper and more sinister plot by the king that could see an end to tradition. Will he be able to survive the vindictive and malicious whiles of the sitting king, as well as triumph over his competitors, while winning over the racist judges? Who claims the throne once all is said and done, Marcus, Braga, or Kamie maybe?
