                   Zayne is entered in the "Dueling Duo" Tandem Open, and he has had a special   handicap forced on him by threat of death! 
                     
                     Aubin, the inexperienced,   backward son of a veteran warrior-hero will be his partner in the preliminary   battles! Zayne must make sure his partner survives the duels until the last   round-but he can't figure out what is behind Aubin's entrance in the battles.   That is, until Jarael discovers that what drives the duel sports is a   slavery-based "farm system" that provides the warriors.
                     
                     Jarael, Gryph,   Rohlan, and Zayne must save Aubin and bring exposure to what horrors lie beneath   the surface of the duels.
