About this audiobook
On the first day she met her match. Then she killed sixteen men.
Tossed into the gladiator arena, the delicate girl in the fancy pink dress should have been the first to die. Leyli had other plans. Surviving was at the top of her list. Revenge was a close second.
Having grown up behind the sheltered walls of the Oberhame Palace, she knew what the crowd wanted. She'd just become a pawn in the games of men. But why was she still alive? They'd killed her brother, the heir to the throne. Had they gotten to her father? Was the king dead?
In the cell beside her, the Lion of Lenlochlien was impressed. When he offered advice, she took it. When she kept coming back after each round, he dared to hope that she'd survive. He had no idea that he was about to become her best weapon. Leyli didn't just want to live through the games, she wanted to protect her father's throne, but to do that, she had to become someone else. The Lion had to make her a Wolf.
Chained side by side, he'll show her how to be a killer. She'll give him a reason to keep fighting. Together, they'll learn that it takes a friend to survive.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Honestly one of the best books I’ve read all year.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book was well written and intriguing. The lack of 5th star was due solely to the reading. I listened via audiobook and did not fully like the oration. It is tough for a woman to do a mans voice, but the effort is applauded.
