An action-packed tale that exposes the brutal underside of Imperial Rome, Sword of the Gladiatrix brings to life unforgettable characters and exotic settings. From the far edges of the Empire, two women come to battle on the hot sands of the arena in Nero's Rome: Afra, scout and beast master to the Queen of Kush; and Cinnia, warrior-bard and companion to Queen Boudica of the British Iceni. Enslaved, forced to fight for their lives and the Romans' pleasure; they seek to replace lost friendship, love, and family in each other's arms. But the Roman arena offers only two futures: the Gate of Life for the victors or the Gate of Death for the losers."Justice's sure-footed pacing and excellent ear for dialogue [is] especially effective in bringing her two main characters to life...Through Justice's prose, we really feel what it was like to attend gladiatorial games in a Roman arena, and the author's research also comes in handy in giving great depth to the native beliefs of both Cinnia and especially Afra. By the exciting close of the novel, readers will care very much about both these women - fans of Roman historical fiction should not miss this title."-Historical Novel Society"An amazing and totally original and unique novel. Such a strong range of female characters are depicted: courageous, brave, cunning, deadly, deceitful; a complete gambit of credible and totally believable women. Countries are traveled, religions explained, rituals rationalized; all this while a relationship between two dominant females unfolds...If you are looking for a novel to pique your historic interest while keeping you transfixed with an audacious narrative then this book will not disappoint."-Inked Rainbow Reads"I was gripped by Faith's great writing style-and hardly put it down until I reached the end. The two heroines are memorable and original and Faith has achieved the difficult challenge of making me care even about the minor characters. The love scenes were handled sensitively and provide a counterpoint to the inevitable savagery of the gladiatorial arena. Highly recommended."-Writing Desk
