A sequel to 'Last Man Standing'

The engagement of the Romallian Prince, Decimus Octavius Marcellus, to the Nevarus Princess, Emrys Marsinah, is being celebrated with a week long gladiator tournament in the Capitol! The final event is none other than the execution of Marcus, son of Romallia's most notorious traitor and brother to the Prince's former fiancée...

But Candra isn't about to let that happen.

Now that she's won her place amongst Tiberius' champion gladiators, Candra will have to return to the colosseum that haunts her nightmares in order to save her brother from the same fate as her father.

But will she be able to maintain her mask as a talented boy gladiator? Or will she take a shot at revenge when she finally comes face to face with Maximus? 

And with the Scruffy Man and Evander still vying for her attention, what will happen when Decimus walks back into her life?

With the terrors of war forever looming over the Empire and a seemingly impossible rescue mission still underway, Candra is forced to get more blood on her hands and watch those she cares about perish. Perhaps one day the blood will be her own...

Death comes for us all.

In a kingdom wrapped in shadows and whispered secrets, where loyalty is sold for gold and love is considered a dangerous weakness, some hearts are born not to shine... but to endure. In a palace where beauty is judged by skin and worth is decided by blood, silence becomes survival. Vidya was never meant to belong there. Eighteen years old, dark-skinned, quiet, and invisible to the world, she was the daughter of a royal advisor who dreamed not of crowns, but of freedom, knowledge, and a life beyond the palace walls. But fate dragged her into the palace as a backup bride - a replacement, a shadow, a girl meant to be forgotten. Books became her only escape. Freedom, her only dream. Disguised as a maid, she walked through corridors never meant for her footsteps. And that was when he saw her. Rudra - the crown prince. Twenty-one years old. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. Known across kingdoms as the Demon of War. A prince who ruled battlefields with iron hands and hearts with silence. A warrior who trusted no one. A man who believed love was weakness. To him, she was just a servant. Until she wasn't. Between stolen glances and harsh words in gilded halls, a forbidden bond began to bloom - a love the palace never wanted, a connection power could never allow. But in a kingdom where thrones are hunted, secrets are lethal, and betrayal hides behind every smile, Love is not a blessing. It is a threat. When enemies rise and conspiracies unfold, will Rudra choose the crown... or the girl the palace tried to erase? And will Vidya survive loving a prince who was never taught how to love? Will two hearts survive the shadows of the throne?

As for the content: It's a story set in ancient Rome. A spoiled girl and daughter of the great Caesar buys a gladiator out of boredom. Of course, he is not at all thrilled and hates all high-ranking aristocrats who take his freedom. So he can't stand his new mistress either. Will the two still find each other? Read for yourself. 🍋🍋🍋🍋 Of course, there is also plenty of lemon and smuty-smut 🍋🍋🍋🍋 Enjoy reading. ❤️ Kisses on the sandnut Your Suga
