Sand and Iron

By Bryce Blackwater

Rome has taken Duras's homeland, his freedom, and his future.
Captured after the Dacian War, Duras is sold into a Campanian gladiator school, where courage is cheap and every mistake becomes someone else's profit. His battlefield instincts are useless in the measured violence of the arena. To survive, he must learn the profession Rome has chosen for him: how to read a shield, a breath, a damaged step, and the instant fear changes a man's balance.
Training brings skill. Victory brings money, wounds, and a price high enough to attract the imperial establishment
