After Imperial soldiers slaughtered my village, murdered my family, and left me with nothing, my only chance at both survival and revenge is entering the gladiatorial arena. But it also brings three men into my life who complicate everything.
Septimus, my brother's best friend and my fierce protector who'd rather see me safe than avenging my family.
Marcus, an Imperial soldier turned gladiator who dreams of earning our freedom and building a life far from the empire's reach.
Tarshi, a half-Talfen warrior whose demon blood makes him forbidden—but whose rage matches my own.
In this new, deadly world, alliances are dangerous, each fight could be my last, and love is the biggest risk of all. But as rebellion brews in the streets and the rumbling of dragons echo through the arena, I'll have to choose. Listen to the healer in my heart who yearns for a future with these men. Or embrace the warrior I've become, break the imperial chains, and sacrifice everything for revenge.
