Playing the Game

A sequel to 'Last Man Standing'

The engagement of the Romallian Prince, Decimus Octavius Marcellus, to the Nevarus Princess, Emrys Marsinah, is being celebrated with a week long gladiator tournament in the Capitol! The final event is none other than the execution of Marcus, son of Romallia's most notorious traitor and brother to the Prince's former fiancée...

But Candra isn't about to let that happen.

Now that she's won her place amongst Tiberius' champion gladiators, Candra will have to return to the colosseum that haunts her nightmares in order to save her brother from the same fate as her father.

But will she be able to maintain her mask as a talented boy gladiator? Or will she take a shot at revenge when she finally comes face to face with Maximus?

And with the Scruffy Man and Evander still vying for her attention, what will happen when Decimus walks back into her life?

With the terrors of war forever looming over the Empire and a seemingly impossible rescue mission still underway, Candra is forced to get more blood on her hands and watch those she cares about perish. Perhaps one day the blood will be her own...

Death comes for us all.
