The Valiant by Lesley Livingston
Releases on: February 14th 2017
The youngest daughter of
a proud Celtic king, Fallon has always lived in the shadow of her older
sister Sorcha's legendary reputation as a warrior. But when Fallon was a
young child, the armies of Julius Caesar invaded the island of Britain
and her beloved older sister was killed in battle.
On the eve of her seventeenth birthday, Fallon is excited to follow in her sister's footsteps and earn her rightful place in her father's royal war band. But she never gets the chance. Instead, Fallon is captured by a band of ruthless brigands who sell her to an exclusive training school for female gladiators—and its most influential patron is none other than Julius Caesar himself. In a cruel twist of fate, Fallon's worst enemy, the man who destroyed her family, might be her only hope of survival.
Now, Fallon must overcome vicious rivalries, chilling threats and the dangerous attention of Caesar himself to survive the deadly fights that take place both in and out of the arena—and claim her place in history among the Valiant.

Thoughts:
This book sounds brilliant! Though I've never read anything by Lesley Livingston before, I know she's well liked and The Valiant may just be the first novel of hers I read. Releasing on Feb 14th next year, I think this book will be my Valentines give to myself! Female gladiators & Julius Caesar?? Yes please!
What do you think of The Valiant? Is it something you would like to read?
And what are you waiting on this week?
