In an empire where gladiators are owned and giants are feared, two women are forced into the same blood-soaked arena-not as equals, but as spectacle.
Tamsin Vale, a legendary gladiator known for her ruthless efficiency, has survived the Gilded Arena for years by burying her heart beneath steel and scars. She fights to earn her freedom, knowing affection is a weakness that gets fighters killed.
Everything changes when the empire unveils its newest attraction: A giantess, captured from the mountain kingdoms and paraded as a living weapon. Chained, armored, and commanded to kill, she is meant to be Tamsin's final opponent.
Instead of delivering the killing blow, Tamsin sees something the crowd does not-fear, intelligence, and restraint in the giant's eyes.
As the two women are forced to fight side by side against beasts, champions, and the empire's cruelty, an unspoken bond forms. What begins as survival turns into trust. Trust becomes longing. And longing becomes a quiet rebellion.
Loving each other is forbidden. Freeing each other is impossible.But the arena has never faced a gladiator willing to die for love-or a giant willing to kneel for no empire.
