Martial power is controlled by corporations, modernized martial arts sects and governments, which leaves people at the bottom as second-class citizens (Audible, Goodreads blurb).

Major Plot Points & Spoilers

- The blurb frames the world: corporations, modernized martial arts sects and governments control martial power, and ordinary people are second-class (Audible).
- Book 2's blurb refers to Rick surviving 'the earlier tournament', so a tournament appears to fall in Book 1. The sources do not describe it, so no details are claimed.
