Sold into slavery, Julian has known nothing but pain. All that changes when he experiences kindness for the first time. But fate has plans for Julian when an ancient god bestows the power and lives of a hundred slaughtered slaves upon him. He uses these powers to protect those he loves, especially the baby Diana. Time moves fast, and now Julian lives with Titi and the five-year-old Diana, who is the spitting image of her mother Mira. Constantly hunted, Julian’s fighting abilities are stronger than ever—and he’ll need them when he faces a vengeful princess who’s determined to see him dead for her slain brother Archos.
