**It’s a fight to the death—on live TV—when a gladiator’s daughter steps into the arena.**
Lyn is a neo-gladiator’s daughter, through and through. Her mother has made a career out of marrying into the high-profile world of televised blood sport, and the rules of the Gladiator Sports Association are second nature to their family.
*Always lend ineffable confidence to the gladiator. Remind him constantly of his victories.* And most importantly: *Never leave the stadium when your father is dying.*
The rules help the family survive, but rules—and the GSA—can also turn against you. When a gifted young fighter kills Lyn’s seventh father, he also captures Lyn’s dowry bracelet, which means she must marry him...
For fans of *The Hunger Games* and *Fight Club*, Lise Haines’ debut novel is a mesmerizing look at a world addicted to violence—a modern world that’s disturbingly easy to imagine.
