Waiting on Wednesday is a meme that was hosted byย Breaking the Spineย to let us share our excitement for books coming out soon. It has gone the way of the wind and is no longer hosted there. Butย Wishful Endingsย is now hostingย Canโ€™t Wait Wednesdayย so we can keep the momentum going and link up there.

Women gladiators!! I’ve loved the first two books in this series, really looking forward to seeing how it all ends!

The final book in the Valiant series takes Fallon and her warrior sisters on an epic journey from the corrupt Roman Republic to the wonder of the ancient world: Alexandria, Egypt.

In the wake of their victorious fight to win back the Ludus Achillea, Fallon and her gladiatrix sisters have become the toast of the Republic. However, as a consequence of his actions during the Ludus uprising, Fallon’s love, Cai, has been stripped of his Decurion rank and cast down to serve as one of Caesar’s gladiators.

Amid fighting for Cai’s freedom, Fallon soon learns that Caesar’s enemies are plotting against him and planning to get revenge on his fearsome gladiatrices. When Caesar is murdered by these conspirators, Fallon and the girls lose any sort of protection they once had. Fallon also realizes that the foreign queen Cleopatra is now in grave danger.

Fallon rallies her war band and Cai’s friends to get Cleopatra out of the city, and the group heads to the safety of Cleo’s homeland, Alexandria, Egypt. Once there, the gladiatrices are promised a place of honor in the queen’s elite guard, but is that what any of them really want?

  1. I haven’t read either of the first two books – but back in the day, I wrote an idea for a story featuring a woman gladiator so I need to get hold of this series. Thank you so much for sharing:).

  2. Dang, that is a strong cover with some amazing female representation. It looks like it’s going to be an amazing book, I’m definitely going to have to check out this series. Adding it to my TBR now. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Great post! ๐Ÿ™‚
