Leith of Grey thought he had nothing to lose, that fighting in the gladiator arena was his last, best chance to save his dying sister. He was wrong - and they took everything. His hope. His freedom. His very humanity. All Leith has left is his battle-scarred, rage-fuelled body. Then Leith meets Maeve, an elven royal who is everything he despises. Until the alluring princess offers him the one thing he needs most: a way out. But in a kingdom built on secrets and lies, hope doesn't come cheap. Nor will his revenge . . .
