Vanti would be happy to spend her life in dance and choreography, but her family chooses her as their champion in a deadly gladiatorsâ tournament. To save her country from enslavement, she must defeat King Obiar the Conqueror and his magical powers. But will the brooding trainer named Gurion be her guide in the battle to comeâŚor a dangerously handsome distraction?
Note: Tyrant is meant as a standalone with a âhappily ever afterâ ending. However, the heroes in the later books in this series are descended from Vanti and Gurion, who are also the ancestors of some of the characters in the original Jaiya series. The romance is on the sweet side, but there is some violence due to the villainsâ actions and the tournament in which the main characters fight.
