Cecy Robson - Bloodguard (2024) ENG

Leith of Grey has nothing left, except his dying sister and his battle-scarred human body, fuelled by rage and hardened by years of fighting.

So when the chance comes to fight as a gladiator in a vicious, bloodthirsty tournament, he seizes it with both hands. Winning will earn him the coveted title of Bloodguard, his freedom, and his sister's life. But only if he survives.

Then Leith meets Maeve, an elven royal who is everything he despises. Until the alluring princess offers him the one thing he needs most: victory.

But in a kingdom built on secrets and lies, hope doesn't come cheap.
