Typhon (Gladiator #1)

In Ancient Rome four young slave-gladiators—bred to be the best and nick-named the Wolf Pack—form a forbidden bond with the daughter of their owner. Across the length and breadth of the empire they will find and claim her as their own, letting nothing stand in their way.

Ennia is the name her patrician birth assigned her. Cassius is the name her father’s physician gave her when she dressed as a slave boy to train under him. But Accalia, the she-wolf, is the name she gave herself. And it is Accalia who falls in love with not one but four young men society deemed the lowest of the low.

Follow their adventures in the Gladiator series:

1: Typhon is a volatile and over-sensitive youth who struggles with his place in the world. Having been born to a tiny oriental slave, who was raped by a warrior and died in childbirth, he found himself fostered, not born, into his master’s elite breeding program. Considering himself undeserving of his placement among the carefully bred slaves meant for the arena, he fights every day to prove himself fit for a place in the barracks and the Wolf Pack.

When he attracts the lecherous attention of a murderous madman, Typhon must fight for his life and trust a mysterious young girl with thundercloud eyes and healing hands.

‘Typhon’ concerns itself with young love and is therefore sweetly PG rated. However, the series as a whole is meant for mature readers, as it becomes increasingly steamy and sexually explicit—although always wholly romantic—as it progresses.
