Mark of the Gladiator The Jeep Diva Mark of the Gladiator by Heidi Belleau & Violetta Vane is the fourth book in the Warriors of Rome series and although I thoroughly enjoyed each book in the series, this novel was my favorite. The story depicts the life of a gladiator slave, Anazar, who is conscripted for two months to a nobleman, Lucius Marianus. Anazar's task is to train captive, savage women in the art of the being gladiatrix.The House of Marianus seemingly appears to be the ideal place for refuge when one is not a freedman, but looks can be deceiving. Marianus houses not o. An intriguing and informative story An intriguing and informative story of a Gladiator finding love and acceptance in a world where it is lacking.I will start by saying that is my first foray into this type of book. I have read historical gay fiction, but this was way out of my comfort zone. But the unbelievable fact is that I enjoyed it from start to finish. Yes, I struggled with words and names and had to constantly look in the included glossary or the Internet, but the journey was very gratifying and informative.Anazâr is a gladiator with a heart. That's how I see him.. "Exciting Action, Clever Intrigue In a Vividly Represented World" according to J. Faltys.

Perhaps it’s because Marianus is truly remarkable: handsome, dignified, honorable, and seemingly as attracted to Anazâr as Anazâr is to him. But a rivalry between Marianus and his brother sparks a murder conspiracy, with Anazâr and his gladiatrices caught in the middle. After an inconvenient display of mercy in the arena, the gladiator Anazâr is pulled from the sands and contracted to nobleman Lucius Marianus to train his new stable of female gladiators. Anazâr has a scant two months to prepare them for the arena, and his new master demands perfection. But as a man, he learns to his cost that no armor or shield can truly protect his heart.. One brother might offer salvation but which? And in a world where life is worth less than the pleasures of the crowd or the whims of a ma
