This is a novel just started by a favorite poet of mine CalebNGonsalves who has recently decided to expand his works to now include a short story and this novel. I can't really give it a review as it's brand new but I can say if his poetry is any indicator of his writing skills ... this novel should prove worthy of a read.

Summary:

Zele has trained his entire life for the Royal Trials. Now he has turned eighteen, the time is now. His future is around the corner. Well that is if he can defeat ninety of the other hundred warriors. Place in the top ten. Then and only then can he become a member of the Royal Guard and his life will truly begin.
