When everything is taken, only survival remains. Betrayed by those closest to her, Talitha has been stripped of her title, cast from her country, and sold as an anonymous slave into the gladiatorial arena of a foreign land. But betrayal may have come from much closer than she realized. When the traitor who murdered her family and stole her birthright appears to watch the games beside the only man she's ever loved, Talitha is sure they must have worked together. The former ensaadi sets her heart on repaying their treachery, even if it costs her life. But her heart might be the most treacherous one of all. BATTLESLAVE is a 30,000 word novella and the third installment in the all-new WARLORDS OF THE SANDSEA romance adventure series.
