What if the only person who can heal your soul is the one girl you are legally forbidden to even look at?

Accalia is a patrician daughter raised to weave wool and be silent. She is a pawn in her father's legacy, a future bride for a man she hasn't met, and she is burning alive with restlessness inside her luxurious cage.

So she does something unforgivable. She disguises herself as a slave boy and walks into the gladiator barracks.

Typhon is a storm waiting to break — half-breed, volatile, convinced he's a monster because of how he was made. He doesn't need tenderness. He doesn't trust it. And he definitely doesn't need a patrician girl with a needle and a death wish pretending to be a boy in a place where discovery means execution for both of them.

But she keeps coming back. And he keeps praying she will.

A girl who traded her silks for a slave's tunic. A fighter who thinks he was born broken. And a bond that will cost them everything if anyone finds out.

Romance where love is the hardest choice — and the most necessary one.
