Venture Riley Russell

True love knows no bounds, and it never, ever dies-especially in the heart of a fighter like Venture Delving. Growing up in a world ruled by the elite Crested Warrior class, Venture and Jade are inseparable. But there is no escaping the terrible truth-he's a lowly bonded servant, and Jade is Venture's wealthy master's daughter. The world tells them that Jade must marry a Crested man, and that Venture will always be bonded scum. Venture will do anything for Jade, anything to prove them wrong. And the powers that rule their world will stop at nothing to keep him from winning the title that could change his life and the world as he knows it, forever. That title is nothing less than Champion of All Richland. Venture must leave behind everything he knows and become what everyone tells him he can never be-a champion prize fighter. Little does Venture know, his quest will put those he loves most in terrible jeopardy and rip the powerful nation of Richland apart. Readers call Venture "gritty without being dirty or gory." Some say Venture "reminds me of The Princess Bride, but more serious-and with prize fighters!" Set in an alternate world, Venture is filled with colorful characters who will capture your heart, packed with action, and complete with twists you'll never see coming. *The Venture series was previously published in a different form. It has been reworked, recut, and reordered.*
