17 year old Ceres, a beautiful, poor girl from the Empire city of Delos, finds herself forced, by royal decree, to fight in the Stade, the brutal arena where warriors from all corners of the world come to kill each other. Pitted against ferocious opponents, her chances of survival are slim. Her only chance lies in drawing on her innermost powers, and making the transition, once and for all, from … from slave to warrior.
18 year old Prince Thanos wakes on the isle of Haylon to discover he has been stabbed in the back by his own people, left for dead on the blood-soaked beach. Captured by the rebels, he must crawl his way back to life, find who tried to assassinate him, and seek his revenge.
Ceres and Thanos, a world apart, have not lost their love for each other; yet the Empire court teems with lies, betrayal and duplicity, and as jealous royals weave intricate lies, they each, in a tragic misunderstanding, are led to believe the other is dead. The choices they make will determine each other’s fate.
Will Ceres survive the Stade and become the warrior she was meant to be? Will Thanos heal and discover the secret being withheld from him? Will the two of them, forced apart, find each other again?

Great book
Loved this book. Such interesting characters, made so real. Great plot.
The book is obviously in a series with no satisfactory ending.
Was cheering for both characters. Unpredictable. Didn’t realize that I could purchase the books in sets. Highly recommend buying the sets. Also didn’t realize that there were so many books involved. You cannot skip books as they each have a story line that connects them. Good read, couldn’t put them down.
I am just really not sure where this series is going and if i have the patience to get there with it!
I liked the book & think anyone who can get ahold of it, should read it. Enjoyed it.
I’ll be looking for the rest of the series! Great reading!
Did not like the beginning so did not read the book
I liked the whole series
Iv’e been following this author for about a year now she never disappoints. I’m definitely feelin the female lead character in this story. Worth the read
Keeps you in your toes and wanting more!
Juvenile
I loved this book! The characters were very deep and dynamic. It is easy to sympathize with the protagonist.
I have found a new author and jumped right in to an exciting world full of exciting characters. Loved
Morgan Rice is good, but tends to be too ‘wordy’
Good book for young adults, about ages 13-14. I love young adult books but this one was written a little too young for me. Super easy read and not much depth. Good story line however.
Excellent fun
Fine
Morgan Rice does it again. Excellent read.
Great story in a great series. My son loved it.
