A grimdark gladiator fantasy featuring morally grey characters, forbidden love, and breathtaking arena combat.
In a kingdom built on the slave trade, the king's champion gladiator receives a fate far worse than defeat-an order that makes every kill he's dealt in the arena feel merciful.
When Lion, a gladiator bred for the arenas, finds a freeborn slave in his room, he must confront the invisible chains that bind him. If this freedom-obsessed woman breaks his deeply ingrained obedience, he'll face the horrors of White Tower.
Olira, a simple farmer, never wanted to own a slave. But when she finds herself entangled with a shady slave merchant, she reluctantly becomes the owner of an injured gladiator. As Olira grapples with her principles and the harsh realities of her world, she's forced to uncover the secrets and scars the deadly gladiator keeps hidden.
