About this ebook

He won his fame—and his freedom—in the gory pits of Rome's Colosseum. Yet the greatest challenge for once-legendary gladiator Caros Viriathos comes to him through a slave. His slave, the beautiful and mysterious Pelonia Valeria. Her secret brings danger to his household but offers Caros a love like he's never known….

Should anyone learn she is a Christian, Pelonia will be executed. Her faith threatens not only herself, but her master. Can she convince a man who found fame through unforgiving brutality to show mercy? And when she's ultimately given the choice, will Pelonia choose freedom or the love of a gladiator?

Ratings and reviews

This book is super awesome I'm an experience reader and I love to read this book made you want cry and ache with need for more , You could really feel the emotions going through and it makes your heart just pound with excitement, and the thing is I hardly read any Christian Romance novels but this made me so excited that I became addicted

This book is a good book. It is a clean book for christians to read. However I did not give it 5 stars because I felt it could have been better. I wish the author had spent more time on showing the beauty of Pelonias character instead of going on and on about her physical beauty. Beauty of the spirit is more important than physical beauty. She talked more about Caros and Pelonias beauty, not so much about how God can heal. How God can make a huge differance in a soul. That should be the most important thing

I haven't read a really good book in a long long time, Until I found this book. I loved everything about it ♡♡♡♡♡ definitely one of my top favorite books, I would recommend to everyone! She is one of my new favorite authors ♡
