Tiberius has one chance to claim a power his bloodline was never meant to touch.
A thousand years after the apocalypse, Entropy keeps most of the world trapped behind swords, horses, and fire. Only the Towers can push back the chaos and restore lost technology. The greatest of these relics are the Gridsuits: living armor that bonds to a chosen fighter, turning them into a weapon of war. In Boston, one such armor needs a new wearer, and a brutal tournament will decide who is worthy. Eleven noble heirs have trained their entire lives to win. Tiberius, a merchant's son, has not. A sickly childhood stole years of training from him, making his father's riches his only way of entering the contest, yet he's common enough to be hated for it. And the rankings put him exactly where his rivals expect: Dead last. Then his first trial begins, and his vision floods with levels, attributes, and progression paths. Perfect for fans of Iron Prince, Quest Academy, and Red Rising.
