Book Overview
Vesper knows the taste of salt on her skin and the thrill of wind in her hair, but nothing could prepare her for the iron bars of the arena. Captured and chained, she is branded Gladiatrix, gladiator-slave to the most dangerous man in Rome: Emperor Commodus. Yet even as the crowds roar for her blood, she feels something greater stirring in her veins-a magic older than the Empire itself.
Trained by the battle-hardened Celt Narcissus, Vesper hones her blade and her body, but her true weapon is Aṣ , the ancient life-force that links her to the natural world. When whispers of a hidden cult of Sandawei infiltrators-souls reborn into the bodies of senators-reach her ears, she realizes the arena is only the beginning of Rome's peril.
Now she must pierce the veil of illusion that conceals a conspiracy reaching to the very throne. If she fails, the Empire will tear itself apart from within, and her own people-lost to the world-will never see the light of freedom again.
Gladiatrix is a heart-pounding epic of magic, political intrigue, and gladiatorial combat-a debut that will sweep you from the dust of the sands to the echoing halls of power. Will Vesper triumph in the Colosseum? Or will Rome's darkest secrets be her undoing?
