Synopsis

Quintus Furius Varus is one of the best lanistas in Rome. Tall and strong in build, fearsome in manner, and sharp of wit, he trains the best gladiators bound for the arenas of Rome. When Senator Servius Augendus seeks personal guards, he attends the Ludus Varus for purchase of the very best. He puts to Quintus an offer he cannot refuse, and Quintus finds himself in Neapolis, contracted as a trainer of guards instead of gladiators.Kaeso Agorix was taken from his homelands of Iberia and delivered to Rome as a slave. Bought by a senator to be trained as a guard, his fate is handed to the man who would train him. Absent free will, Kaeso knows his life is no longer his own, though he soon realises the gods have favoured him when he learns his new master has a kind heart.Quintus and Kaeso forge a bond that far exceeds the collar at Kaeso’s neck, and together they discover the senator’s move for promotion has an ulterior motive. Thrown into a world of politics and conspiracy, of keeping enemies close, they move against time to save Rome before traitors and the gods themselves see to their end.And in doing so, see the dawn of the nova praetorian—the new guard—rise.

Re-read: 13.03.2019 I had to re-read this, because at least this one has a somewhat happy ending. Fuck horrible and cruel endings! Yeah, I'm still pissed about my previous read as you can tell.... However, I probably should've have read it so soon. It wasn't all that long ago since I read this on......more

Goodreads review by Sanaa on October 29, 2018

4.75 stars. “Sometimes hope is all a man can cling to,” Every time I read a NR Walker book, I'm reminded of how amazing of a writer she is. Nova Praetorian is a historical romance set in the Roman time period. Initially, I wasn't sure since I'm not the biggest historical reader but she slayed......more
