"An expertly crafted page-turner with unpredictable twists, steamy romance, and magical creatures." --Kirkus
One hundred years. Tens of thousands of gladiators. And today, only one will rise...
Everything in the Kingdom of Arrow is a lie.
Leith of Grey thought coming to this new land and volunteering to fight in the gladiator arena--vicious, bloodthirsty tournaments where only the strongest survive--would earn him enough gold to save his dying sister. He thought there was nothing left to lose.
He was wrong--and they took everything. His hope. His freedom. His very humanity.
All Leith has left is his battle-scarred body, fueled by rage and hardened from years of fighting for the right to live another day.
Then Leith meets Maeve, an elven royal who is everything he despises. Everything he should hate. Until the alluring princess offers him the one thing he needs most: a chance to win the coveted title of Bloodguard--and his freedom.
But in a kingdom built on secrets and lies, hope doesn't come cheap.
Nor will his ultimate revenge...

Reviews
"Paranormal romance veteran Robson's first foray into romantasy is violent and gory, full of bloody fight scenes both in the gladiator ring and outside of it. It's also a tender love story that will appeal to readers of Milla Vane and Jennifer Armentrout." -Booklist
"Robson (Weird Girls) sets up the power structures and politics of her Old Erth romantasy series with this epically gory and tense love story. Robson loads the story with deadly monsters, elaborate battles, evil machinations, personal secrets, and unsavory power grabs while keeping hero Leith sympathetic and easy to root for." -Publisher's Weekly
"An expertly crafted page-turner with unpredictable twists, steamy romance, and magical creatures." -Kirkus Reviews
"Filled with gladiators, dragons, and political intrigue with generous servings of lust and spice..." -BuzzFeed
