The Slave's Gladiator by Silverdawn_

When death is everywhere, what will you do to survive? All Hadriana remembers is slavery. Her home burned to the ground, she now works the fields of the estate, keeping a low profile to survive. That is, until she attaches the attention of a famous gladiator. Kind, confident, and wanting her, he whispers promises of a different life, a life free from the Roman's hands. That is until his skeletons, more dangerous and more violent then Rome itself, show their faces wanting revenge. Learning to survive is hard, learning to move on is even harder. However, unless Hadriana wants to find herself buried six feet under, she's needs to learn how to do both before his skeletons drag them both under ground forever. Lovely cover done by @final_girl13

Set in a dystopian society plagued by corruption and violence, the story follows a compelling protagonist, whose chosen profession blurs the line between justice and villainy. Our protagonist, a highly skilled assassin, navigates a treacherous landscape where assassinations have become a lucrative trade. Operating within the shadows, they possess an uncanny ability to blend seamlessly into the background, leaving no trace of their presence. But with every contract they fulfill, a heavy toll is exacted on their soul. Haunted by a tormented past, the protagonist seeks redemption and a way out of this blood-soaked life. Yet, their unique set of skills attracts the attention of powerful figures who seek to control them for their own sinister purposes. As alliances shift and betrayals abound, the protagonist must confront their inner demons while evading those who would manipulate or eliminate them.

Rome, AD 191. When a mercenary from the provinces travels to the heart of the Empire in search of something lost to him, he finds more than he bargained for. Gaizaz, a sword-for-hire used to the solitary life, is out of his depth in the bustling urban landscape of Rome, and feels even more so when he realises that some of the Empire's most powerful individuals are at play, standing between him and his quest. With help from unlikely allies, found in the forms of an actor and a gladiatrix, Gaizaz must navigate both Rome's turbulent aristocracy and the trials of the heart in order to retrieve something lost to him many years ago... --- Updates regularly! • @HistoricalFiction "Ancient World" Reading List --- This story is rated Mature.
