About this audiobook
A fierce Celtic princess is captured and sold to an elite training school for female gladiators where she will have to fight for her survival both in and out of the arena.
“Spectacular, brutal, tender, and romantic.”—Mary E. Pearson, New York Times bestselling author of the Remnant Chronicles
“Has everything I love in a book: danger, violence, and a badass protagonist with a sword.”—Julie Kagawa, New York Times bestselling author of the Iron Fey series
Princess. Captive. Gladiator. Always a warrior.
Fallon is the daughter of a proud Celtic king, the sister of the legendary warrior Sorcha, and the sworn enemy of Julius Caesar.
When Fallon was a child, Caesar’s armies invaded her homeland, and her beloved sister was killed in battle.
Now, on the eve of her seventeenth birthday, Fallon is eager to follow in her sister’s footsteps and earn her place in the fearsome Cantii war band. She never gets the chance.
Fallon is captured and sold to an elite training school for female gladiators—owned by none other than Julius Caesar. In a cruel twist of fate, the man who shattered Fallon’s family might be her only hope of survival. Now Fallon must overcome vicious rivalries and deadly fights—in and out of the arena. And perhaps the most dangerous threat of all: her forbidden yet irresistible feelings for Cai, a young Roman soldier.
