The Gladiator
ByPublisher Description
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?

“Debut novel? wow! this was so addictive I couldn't put it down and thought about it when I had to. that for me is a sign of a good book! I love how Christ centered Pelonia is and how even in the midst of her tragedies she clung tight to the Joy of thr Lord. I will recommend reading Philippines before reading this as I feel it has a bigger impact on the turn around we see in Caros and his journey.”
