Longer description:
Female slave and gladiator Bellatrix has been forced to fight for the Roman Empire's entertainment for four years. In that time, she's grown to be one of the most famous gladiatrices of her time, beating each of her opponents and gaining riches as she goes.
And then, on the nineteen-year-old Emperor's birthday, she finally loses, in front of him.
She should have been stabbed to death right there in front of the screaming crowds. But then the Emperor does something even more unexpected than her loss: he saves her life.
Confused, she digs into the mysterious, womanizing, and attractive man, and finds that his battle ground - the backstabbing, greedy, and power-hungry Imperial Court - could be just as dangerous as hers. And he could be just as trapped as she is in his guilded cage of lies and secrets.
The Roman Empire is on the verge of collapse, treachery is rampant, and no one can be trusted.
Love is on no one's mind... until it suddenly is.
The Roman Empire will fall, and she will rise...
