After an inconvenient display of mercy in the arena, the gladiator AnazÃ¢r is pulled from the sands and contracted to nobleman Lucius Marianus to train his new stable of female gladiators. His charges are demoralized and untested, and they bear the marks of abuse. AnazÃ¢r has a scant two months to prepare them for the arena, and his new master demands perfection.,AnazÃ¢r is surprised by how eager he is to achieve itâ€”far more eager than a man motivated only by self-preservation. Perhaps itâ€™s because Marianus is truly remarkable: handsome, dignified, honorable, and seemingly as attracted to AnazÃ¢r as AnazÃ¢r is to him.,But a rivalry between Marianus and his brother sparks a murder conspiracy, with AnazÃ¢r and his gladiatrices caught in the middle. One brother might offer salvation . . . but which? And in a world where life is worth less than the pleasures of the crowd or the whims of a master, can there be any room for love? As a gladiator, AnazÃ¢r's defenses are near impenetrable. But as a man, he learns to his cost that no armor or shield can truly protect his heart.
