She grew up knowing how fickle the god's patience is, and on the fifteenth birthday, she was stolen away to fight for her life in gladiator torments per the god's wishes.

Not yet. When she is sent from her homeland of Sparta to the competitive throws of Athens for one competition, she mets the hardest match she's ever had. She returns to Sparta with a decision and a troublesome Athenian man on her heals. She can only hope that the protection of the royals will give her peace.
