In the arena, he kills for the people—but once his debt is paid, a gladiator may claim a Victima Privata: one man taken from the public and kept for himself alone.
Facing his final trial, bard-in-training Elyas comes to Rome with his mentor—only for thieves to murder his teacher and steal what little they possess. Alone in a brutal city, Elyas turns to theft to survive. When he’s caught, he’s thrown into the arena to face certain death at the hands of a vicious gladiator.
Instead of killing him, Braven claims Elyas as his Victima Privata—his personal prize, his alone to rule and possess. Now Elyas must surrender himself to a fearsome warrior and abandon his dream of becoming a full-fledged bard.
But as they journey north toward Silvarum, their shared homeland, something unexpected takes root between them. Beneath the blood and brutality, they discover kinship… and desire. Yet when they arrive, how will the townsfolk react to a gladiator who has enslaved their bard?
A beautiful bard with a powerful voice. A deadly gladiator with unspoken needs. And a forbidden romance neither man expected.
