Nundina Ardenta Vol. 1: Ashes of Blood
Author’s Cut Edition — Second EditionBy J. ShippRecorded TrackLength7h 8m
About this audiobook
In the shadows of ancient Rome, Nundina Ardenta is raised in the forbidden magical language Névhasharí. After Rome destroys her family and sells her into bondage, survival hardens into vengeance. From the brothels to the arena, she rises as Morsus Mortis—Death’s Bite—an undefeated gladiatrix whose impossible healing convinces her she has achieved immortality. But the working she cast at sixteen did more than preserve her life: it cracked an ancient seal and awakened a primordial hunger within her. As rebellion erupts and Rome closes in, Nundina must decide what she is willing to become to claim freedom, vengeance, and eternity. Ashes of Blood opens The Crimson Empire Saga, blending historical dark fantasy, horror, sorcery, and brutal Roman spectacle.
