Claim The Fallen 3
(2026)Blood in the Arena
(A book in the Claim The Fallen series)
A novel by Sam Ward
The orc war is over. The bill isn't paid yet.
Chris Carter comes home to Deephold with a promotion, a grieving party leader named Elise asking for a spot on his roster, and a merchant prince who thinks an embargo can bring an adventurer to heel. Then, on a dungeon floor nobody has touched in years, his party pries open a stone coffin. The woman sleeping inside has been waiting five thousand years for someone to wake her up.
Séraphine swings a greatsword most men couldn't lift and casts lightning older than the kingdom. She also calls him Lord Carter, and no amount of asking makes her stop. With her on the roster, the seventh floor stops being a wall. The two-headed Cerberus guarding it disagrees.
Six women fight at his side now. And the merchant house squeezing them is about to learn why you don't starve out the man who kills Rank B monsters for a living.
Carter didn't come to this world to build an empire. It keeps happening anyway.
