There Are No Rules

Taj won the first battle and still lost everything. But now he’s made it to the next stage of the competition, and the rules have all changed in the second book of Django Wexler’s lightning-paced progression fantasy adventure for fans of Cradle and Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Taj has sworn to reach the top of his world by winning the Ascent, the ultimate construct fighting tournament.  But he’s barely made it to the second stage when everything goes wrong. 

Here, hundreds of miles above everything he’s ever known, the gloves are off and everyone is out for blood.  Dropped into the midst of a game with too many players and no rules, Taj doesn’t know who to trust.  For a boy from the junkheap that’s all too familiar.

As he desperately upgrades his construct Star to have a chance against his monstrous opponents, the battlelines shift and shift again.  But even if he manages to come out on top, Taj knows that victory can bring unimaginable loss. And his life isn’t the only one at stake.
