Stripped and bound, Jór can only wait to be torn apart by beasts. But he can't even focus on the fangs of approaching death. All his fear is drowned in the cold eyes of the Praetor overseeing Jór's execution...a man so fearsome he'd thwart the gods to claim Jór for himself.
How can a "barbarian" like Jór survive among the Roman nobility when they are more dangerous than any lion? Especially when the Praetor's lifelong servant Verus is more deadly than any of them...and he doesn't approve of Jór.
