A senator’s son, born to a life of debate and privilege, Gaius Valerius is the perfect product of his class—destined for a brilliant career in the heart of the city. But when his father uncovers a dark conspiracy reaching into the highest levels of the Senate, Gaius must abandon the future he thought he knew. The plot is audacious: to starve the city and seize power in the ensuing chaos, backed by a private army of the most dangerous men in the world.

To save the Republic, Gaius must sacrifice his name, his honor, and his freedom. Publicly disgraced and cast out by his own father, he is sold as a slave and thrown into the brutal gladiator school that serves as the conspiracy’s heart. Now known only as Corvus, a branded and beaten fighter, he must survive the savage training and deadly politics of the ludus, where any sign of his true intellect and skill means a death sentence.

Surrounded by killers and traitors, Corvus walks a razor's edge. He must earn the trust of hardened fighters while hiding his true purpose from a cunning and ruthless lanista who sees him as nothing more than an asset to be broken. As he gets closer to the truth, he uncovers an assassination plot that will serve as the final spark for the coup.

Trapped in a kingdom of death with no allies and no name, one man’s secret mission is the only thing standing between the Republic and a bloody civil war.
