Rome's hunger for gladiatorial combat has never been greater.   

The passion for novelty in the arena has given rise to a range of warriors, but none quite like Krista; sole survivor of her family's brutal murder, Krista is now the property of Commander Niclaus and is sent to train and fight in the arena for his pleasure.

Guided by her friend and mentor Lazarus, Krista's deadly combat skills earn her the adoration of the public and the fear of fellow gladiators. But there is one gladiator who seems indifferent to her - Artorius.

Fighting to stay alive, Krista will do anything to break her chains and enact revenge upon the Commander who slaughtered her family and put her there.

***2024 Watty Awards Shortlisted*** https://www.wattpad.com/list/1642504418 **Action/Adventure Second place winner of The Fabulous Writer Awards ** War. For as long as memory serves, it has consumed the lands of Druzatria, stripping away freedom and peace from the kindred who dwell there, claiming countless innocent lives as casualties. For Onyx, life has been blood and sand. She is a gladiator, made for battle, bound by chains. She was forged in the Queen's arenas, raised not as a daughter but as a weapon, honed by violence and bloodshed. Abandoned by her father and gripping to the fading memory of her mother; she's learned to bury any weakness deep, to survive at all costs. Though her power rivals that of the strongest, she is bound-imprisoned by the Queen's merciless hold, wielded only as a tool of destruction. The arena has sculpted her into an unbreakable warrior, yet she is locked in a relentless struggle with herself. Haunted by the urge for something more. Until an Orcish Halfbreed enters the pit, the clash of their blades ignites a fate neither could foresee-a fight that will alter the course of her fate forever. Setting both on a path neither expected. Will she fall further under the Queen's iron grip, or rise and claim the one thing she has fought for her entire life? Will she lose everything she has fought to keep? And is she willing to pay in blood?

In the brutal arena of ancient Rome, a skilled gladiator known only as Y/N rises through the ranks, defeating opponent after opponent with unmatched precision and strength. Her victories capture the attention of Emperor Geta, a ruler as cold and calculating as the empire he commands. Impressed by her prowess, Geta appoints Y/N as his personal guard, but their relationship begins with nothing but disdain and tension. As they are forced into proximity, the line between hatred and attraction blurs, and Geta finds himself drawn to the fierce and independent woman he once viewed as nothing more than a weapon. In a world where power and survival are everything, can a gladiator and an emperor find common ground-or will their differences tear them apart?

Omnia Vincit Amor by TheKinkyRat
11 parts Complete Mature
Omnia vincit amor; Love conquers all. This is a story that follows the princess of Rome, the daughter of General Acacius and Lucilla. The future wife of Emperor Geta. - I'm obsessed with gladiator two right now, so I wrote an x reader! Reader x Geta/Reader x Caracalla. ⚠️spoilers!⚠️ ⚠️The reader will be around 19, even though the oldest she could be in the movie is 16, as Lucilla and Acacius married 16 years right after the first gladiator movie. The emperors are in their late twenties in the movie as well. I want it to be age appropriate, so the reader is 19 and the twins are 25!⚠️ (Fun Fact; the title is a phrase in a poem by the Roman poet Vergil. My information is google lol)
