These are the times a young Batiatus has been waiting for. Poised to overthrow his father and take control; hell freely betray anyone to ensure his gladiators are in the highest demand. And hell have his loyal and calculating wife Lucretia by his side for every underhanded scheme, drawing on the brazen talents of her seductive friend Gaia when it counts.
