Mave knows where she stands in life. She’s an Andinna. A member of the winged, horned, and tailed warrior race that the Elvasi Empire defeated in the Hundred Year War and then enslaved. She’s a slave, and has been one for a thousand years, the personal property of the Empress of the Elvasi Empire, since the end of the War. She’s a gladiator, thrown onto the sands of the Colosseum to die, though it backfired on those who wanted her dead. She’s the Champion of the Colosseum, and has been for roughly nine hundred years. All of these things have marked her as an outcast among her own people. Hated, distrusted, and despised, she knows the name of her people, but not much else. But she knows where she stands. Keeping her head down and her blades sharp has carried her this far, and she refuses to acknowledge the deepest wishes she holds in her heart. Those will only get her killed. Alone, she’s stood against everything they have ever thrown at her, refusing to give them what they want. What Mave doesn’t know is that it’s all about to change. The Gladiator’s Downfall is a 129,000+, full-length novel. Age of the Andinna is a reverse harem epic fantasy series. The female lead will collect her lovers as the series progresses. There is triggering content in this series including but not limited to: abuse, violence, mature language, and sexual content. It’s recommended for mature audiences.

    This is one of those stories that you want to re-read as soon as you finish, and if you try to read something else it just isn’t satisfying :) Mave is such a fierce warrior, she has been a slave for 1000 years and keeps on fighting, her world is changed though with the arrival of 2 new slaves - Mat and Rain. Mat is hot — and I liked that they consider timing in their relationship. I love the banter, and sweetness, between her and Rain. I like that we get some POVs from others, even those who aren’t likely to be in her harem. I can’t wait to see what happen next in this series!
