Realm War Chronicles- Champion of the Kashmari

Cadmus Brand's life as a champion gladiator in the Kashmari City-States affords him every luxury a man could ask for: wealth, prestige, and the adoration of his fans.But the one thing the gladiator truly longs for, a family, is out of reach because he has a terrible secret that would put a wife and children in unrelenting danger.Brand is the last surviving member of an ancient order of pharmakons, a group of alchemists who brew elixirs that enhance their natural abilities, giving them superhuman speed, strength, and agility. The pharmakons of old were hated by the kashmari lords because they were the only ones strong enough to fight a kashmari.If Brand's kashmari patron, the city lord of Darnan, finds out about the gladiator's secret, Brand and everyone he loves will be put to death. He's determined never to let that happen.But then he falls in love with a beautiful, dangerous kashmari lady, ends up fighting for his life, and becomes entangled in a race for an artifact that could endanger all life on the desert world of Muspelheim...
