The Iron Crucible: Rebirth of the Cage King
By Sarah Mitchell
Synopsis
Once the undisputed king of underground MMA in London, Kaelen 'The Cyclone' Sterling died a brutal death in the ring, betrayed and left for dead. Reborn into the frail body of Arthur Penhaligon, a bookish Oxford student bullied relentlessly, Kaelen finds his martial arts instincts and muscle memory stubbornly intact. Haunted by fragmented memories of his past life and driven by a burning desire for vengeance, Arthur must navigate the cutthroat world of modern MMA, blending his reborn strength with the refined techniques of his past to forge a new path to glory. He starts by learning to defend himself, rediscovering the iron within, and preparing to enter 'The Crucible' – the very underground fight club where he met his end. This time, he's not just fighting for survival; he's fighting for retribution.
