The Valiant

The Valiant by Lesley Livingston

Fallon is the ultimate warrior princess. She trains, fights and sweats just as hard as the soldiers and fighters in her kingdom. Sadly, her dream to become a part of her father’s war band is crushed when she’s kidnapped by slavers. She is brought to Rome and sold to a training school where she becomes a gladiator. “Warrior” takes on a whole new meaning as every battle becomes a fight for her life. Each swing of her sword and smile to the crowd could be her last moment. Fallon trains harder than any other gladiator and becomes Victory itself. She discovers lost family, finds new love, becomes the tyrant Julius Caesar’s favorite fighter.

I LOVED this book! Each page was unique and captivating. The romance isn’t overpowering and adds just the right amount of flavor. Even though I am not like Fallon or her friends on the surface, I can find pieces of my life in their thoughts and deeds. I highly recommend this to any reader seeking a fast paced, exhilarating story.
