Fallon is the beloved
gladiatrix (a woman gladiator) for Caesar, which paints a target on her back for those warriors she
has defeated to reach the top. When
Fallon’s safe haven, Ludus Achilea, is invaded and her sister is taken by the competing
gladiatrices and their leader Pontius, Fallon is captured by the enemy. An old friend shows up to help Fallon and her
fighting spirit refuses to let Pontius and his dark group of senators take away
her friends and her freedom.
Fallon is a
strong and likable character. This book
had its slow moments, like second books in a trilogy seem to do, but it was
still entertaining and had some good twists.
The violence is when the warriors are fighting and they are bloody as
well as a cannibalistic act is refereed to.
