A prequel of the Twelve Kings in Sharakhai, which lives up to its predecessor in terms of a great story

Synopsis: This short novel is a prequel to Twelve Kings in Sharakhai, and it describes the confrontation between Çeda--whose alternate life is as a champion pit-fighter--and a powerful ehrekh (demon).

What I thought: I really enjoyed Kings, and I really enjoyed this; it's just a really well-written story, with interesting worldbuilding, vivid imagery, and good character development. Having read Sharakhai enhances it a bit, but it stands well on its own. And the cover has to be one of the most stunning 2016 covers that I've seen.
