One day, Cade discovers a mysterious invitation to compete in a top-secret gladiator tournament known as the Contender. Although Cade initially dismisses the invitation as a prank, he soon learns that it is all too real.
As Cade begins his training for the Contender, he discovers that he possesses a rare ability known as the Gift, which allows him to control the elements of earth, water, fire, and air. With this newfound power, Cade becomes a force to be reckoned with in the arena, but he quickly realizes that there are darker forces at work behind the scenes.
As he uncovers the truth about the Contender and the sinister organization that runs it, Cade must fight not only for his own survival but for the future of the tournament itself.

When a new challenger arrives on the scene, Cade is forced to confront his own limitations and push himself to new heights if he hopes to retain his title as the champion. But even as he trains for the next bout, Cade can't shake the feeling that something is amiss.
