‘Almond and the Lanista’ is the first prequel to Miles and the Soldier, the second book in the Acre Series.
In the far south-eastern corner of the horse lands, a group of slave traders thrust a man and his dog into a world of enslavement.
The Lanista, a just man who has lost more than most, gets invited to take part in the games at the great warrior city of Battleacre. He prepares his warriors for battle. Win, and you gain your freedom. Loose and you lose your life.
The Ludus Capris heads north, entering the famed city prepared for combat. As the games begin, Almond and the gladiators discover they are compelled to battle not simply within the arena’s high walls, but also within the city walls themselves.
Which fight does Almond choose?
Almond needs to make an impossible decision. Fight for his freedom or break the one promise he made to his one true love.
