Under the Flavian Emperors the Roman public's hunger for
gladiatorial combat has never been greater. The Emperor Domitian's
passion for novelty and variety in the arena has given rise to a
very different kind of warrior: the Gladiatrix. Lysandra, member of
an ancient Spartan sect of warrior priestesses, is the sole
survivor of a shipwreck off the coast of Asia Minor who finds
herself the property of Lucius Balbus owner of the foremost Ludus
for female gladiators in the Eastern Empire. Lysandra's Spartan
pride refuses to accept her new status as a slave. Her deadly
combat skills not only enable her to survive but win the adoration
of the crowds, the respect of her Lanista, Balbus, and the
admiration of Sextus Julius Frontinus, the provincial governor. But
Lysandra's hubris has stirred up the ethnic factions of the ludus
attracting the enmity of the Dacian warrior, Sorina, Gladiatrix
Prima and leader of the Barbarian faction as well as inciting the
hatred of the sadistic Numidian trainer Nastasen. Meanwhile
Frontinus and Balbus plan the ultimate combat spectacle for the
visit of the emperor's emissary, Trajanus, that will involve
Lysandra in her greatest and deadliest trial.
