Among them is Lion, a purebred beast who was bred for the blood-soaked arenas. A man who exists for violence and entertainment. A man whose life hangs by a thread. Olira, a simple farmer, never wanted to own a slave. But when she finds herself entangled with a shady slave merchant, she reluctantly becomes the owner of an injured purebred beast.
