Consors Imperiatrix: Sanguis et Arena

The clash of steel, the spray of fresh blood. Fluted helmets shine, glistening iron flickers, and the screams of the dying mirrors the roar of a crowd hungry for battle and carnage. Where life hangs on the sadistic glee of a blood-soaked tyrant, and danger stalks the vast palace where he dwells, a damaged and embittered soul ekes out a dismal, grim life. Freed from captivity and raised up into the echelon of backstabbing Humans as Empress-Consort, Magda the Minotaur wants for nothing and feels for no-one. But when a gift from her 'husband' is revealed to be a startlingly handsome Gaulish young man, she begins to discover some things truly are worth fighting for. But how will she react when the very one giving her a new reason to live might just be secretly plotting the deaths of the ones in power over this demented game of gladiatorial blood and intrigue?
