A daughter of a Visigoth tribe. A Roman gladiator school. And a city’s obsession with violence. When Adelgard is captured and sold amidst a war, she has no idea that she will soon become the most renowned gladiatrix in all of Rome. But what is the cost of this fickle fame – and is she willing to pay it? With themes of sacrifice, courage, and surrender, this ancient historical fiction has romance and faith at its heart.

Share your thoughts: How does Adelgard’s transformation reflect the tension between: loyalty to her Visigoth heritage, survival in the Roman arena, and her own emerging moral convictions?
