A dark and emotional tale of love and survival! This book had me holding my breath from start to finish. The atmosphere was gripping; it was realistic, giving you an idea of what it's like to be a prisoner under a gladiator arena where any day could be your last. Such impactful storytelling! The characters were believable, and it was so touching seeing them get to know each other and find support in the horrible situation they were in. I love these guys, and I can't wait to see them get their HEA in the next book!
