“This is the Arena, and here we live to die.” These are the words carved into a holding cell where genetically-altered gladiators, the winged humans called Galdoni, are trained to fight. Kale, rescued by three high school students and nursed back from the brink of death, is given the chance to experience life as a human. When he is captured, he has to use what he learned in the world outside the Academy in order to free the other Galdoni and return to the human girl he loves.
Dark and exciting, Galdoni pushes the boundaries of love in a world of violence.
Nearly two decades have passed since Krista and her band of gladiators won their freedom, but the empire is far from peaceful.
The Colosseum still remains and with their escape scarring Rome's history, the emperor's hunger for power has never been greater.
Extinguishing all attempts at rebellion, it is only a matter of time before the enslaved people of Gallia take a stand against their tormentors.
Fearing another slave rebellion, the Emperor Trajan orders the legions of Rome to march on Gallia.
