From the sands of the arena, the ultimate female warrior will rise.
  
              ~ ~ ~

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 and greed.

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. Though there is one gladiator who seems indifferent to her. 

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.
 
But Krista's pride and skill earn her powerful enemies which sets her upon a path she never expected, and one that will change the fate of Rome forever.

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.

She avoids the violence by staying away from the Colosseum until the day she decides to try and save a few lives from dying in the arena. It's there that she meets Caius. Caius loves the arena. As a gladiator he loves the cutthroat challenge of it, the comradeship of the men, the honor of fighting for his country.

When Caius is assigned to be Aurelia's new guard, he's more than distraught about no longer being a gladiator.

When Venus' wind grazes both of them and disdain turns to desire, both find arrangement rather to their benefit.

His expression shifted, a storm of emotions flickering across his face. "Cassia... how long have you been planning this?" "Years," she admitted, her voice breaking. "Ever since Lydia passed, it's been harder and harder to stay. I love this village, I love everyone here-you most of all-but it feels like... like I'm suffocating." He stepped closer, his jaw tight. "So, that's it? You're just leaving? For how long?" She looked down, her fingers twisting the hem of her tunic. "I don't know. Maybe I'll come back, but not for a long time. I can't promise anything." Lucius's silence was louder than any words. She could see the hurt in his eyes, the way he clenched his fists as if trying to hold himself together. Finally, he spoke, his voice quieter than she'd ever heard it. "You don't want to leave, Cassia. Not really. You want to escape. There's a difference." "I know that," she snapped, her voice sharper than she intended. "But it doesn't change the fact that I need to go. I need to figure out who I am outside of this place." Lucius turned away, running a hand through his hair. "And what about us? What about everyone here who depends on you?" "I'm not abandoning anyone," she said, stepping closer. "Finn is stronger than he looks. Brutus and the others-this village is their home now, too. They'll protect it. And you... you don't need me, Lucius. You're strong enough without me." He turned back to her, his eyes blazing. "That's not the point, Cassia. It's not about needing you. It's about..." He trailed off, his voice catching.
