Leonidas, champion gladiator of Rome, is set free from the games by a mysterious benefactor who grants him freedom, a place to live, and a servant—Cassia, a scribe—to look after him.

But the benefactor is only so generous—Leonidas must pay his own way and Cassia’s, which means hiring himself out. The sharp-witted Cassia quickly lands him a post as a bodyguard, escorting a retired senator to Ostia.

The journey soon turns deadly, as Leonidas and Cassia find themselves squarely in the middle of intrigue that reaches from the slums of the Subura to the Palatine Hill and the emperor Nero himself.

Leonidas the Gladiator Mysteries

Blood of a Gladiator

AD 63

Leonidas’s former trainer, Aemil, asks him to look into the disappearances of gladiators from his ludus. Leonidas and Cassia investigate, and soon uncover gruesome murders involving some of the wealthiest citizens of Rome.

Leonidas pits his skills against an unknown killer who hunts gladiators from the back lanes of the Subura to prestigious villas atop Rome’s hills. He and Cassia must succeed in uncovering the murderer’s identity before Nero grows impatient and makes Leonidas pay for the chaos the killer has rained down upon his city.

A Gladiator's Tale

Leonidas begins a job working as a builder and almost immediately stumbles across a valuable ring. Cassia realizes is very, very old, and has more significance than just being a trinket. The ring is key to unlocking a possible conspiracy against Nero, and the princeps commands Leonidas and Cassia to uncover the plotters by any means necessary. But the ring and conspiracy are just the tip of the troubles that Leonidas uncovers, bringing danger very close to home.
