The gladiator games of Ancient Rome had always been a man's battle. That is until one very unsuspected girl joins the fight. Leona was born in a "barbarian" tribe that was slaughtered by the Romans. After the massacre of her family, her emotions drain and her heart turned to stone. 
She is and always will be a fighter, so when she is enslaved she still refuses to give up. After a fight with some guards that ends badly, she is sentenced to death by gladiator in the coliseum. 
However the sentence is short lived as she kills him with ease. Soon she is thrust into the world of gladiators still holding no emotions except for a searing burn for vengeance.
Will she survive in this world built for men?
Will she ever get revenge for her family?
And will anyone ever be able to break through her heart of stone?

Of Gold and Chains (Gladiator Fanfic)

9 parts Ongoing Mature

Princess Anneliese thought she was coming to Rome to strengthen alliances. Instead, she's trapped in the golden cage of Emperor Commodus, who plans to make her his bride--whether she wants it or not. But the glittering halls of Rome hide more than political games. In the depth of the Colosseum, she meets..him. Maximus. The empire's most feared gladiator. A man who fights like a god and never loses. But beneath the blood and sand, he's more than just a warrior--he's a man with a past the emperor wants buried. A past filled with betrayal, loss...and a thirst for vengeance. They were never meant to meet. They were never meant to fall in love. But in a world where love is a death sentence and freedom is just a dream, how far are they willing to go to defy an empire?
