Science Fiction Space Opera
In the Galactic Roman Empire, eight noble houses fight for
power. One gladiator fights for justice. This is Wolf's
Empire: Gladiator, by Claudia Christian and Morgan Grant
Buchanan. When her mother and brother are murdered,
young noblewoman Accala Viridius cries out for vengeance.
But the empire is being torn apart by a galactic civil war,
and her demands fall on deaf ears. Undeterred, Accala
sacrifices privilege and status to train as a common
gladiator. Mastering the one weapon available to her―a
razor-sharp discus that always returns when thrown--she
enters the deadly imperial games, the only arena where she
can face her enemies. But Fortune's wheel grants
Accala no favors―the emperor decrees that the games
will be
used to settle the civil war, the indigenous lifeforms of
the arena-world are staging a violent revolt, and Accala
finds herself drugged, cast into slavery and forced to fight
on the side of the men she set out to kill. Set in a
future Rome that never fell, but instead expanded to become
a galaxy-spanning empire, Accala's struggle to survive and
exact her revenge will take her on a dark journey that will
cost her more than she ever imagined.
