Leonidas, champion gladiator of Rome, is set free from the games by a mysterious benefactor who grants him freedom, a place to live, and a servant??Cassia, a scribe??to look after him.

But the benefactor is only so generous??Leonidas must pay his own way and Cassia's, which means hiring himself out. The sharp-witted Cassia quickly lands him a post as a bodyguard, escorting a retired senator to Ostia.

The journey soon turns deadly, as Leonidas and Cassia find themselves squarely in the middle of intrigue that reaches from the slums of the Subura to the Palatine Hill and the emperor Nero himself.

Leonidas, a gladiator who has recently earned his freedom, is hired as a bodyguard by a senator transporting gold to pay for imported goods. Somebody wants the senator dead, and preferably with Leonidas getting the blame. But who and why? And how is the murder of a brothel madam connected?

Quite apart from the main mystery, the mystery of Leonidas and Cassia's benefactor is obviously going to play out over what promises to be a very intriguing series. ( )

A.D. 62 Rome. Gladiator Leonidas the Spartan is given his freedom by an unknown benefactor. But he must keep himself and his slave Cassia by obtaining employment. His first position is as a bodyguard for Decimus Laelius Priscus as he travels to Ostia Antica to retrieve a valuable cargo. Meanwhile Leonidas is convinced someone is trying to kill him, and frame him for a murder he did not commit.
An entertaining and well-written historical mystery with its likeable main characters. ( )

Delightful mystery set during Nero's reign, featuring an ex-gladiator, Leonidas the Spartan, and his "sidekick", the clever quick-witted slave scribe, Cassia. He's the "brawn" and clueless about life as a freedman and she is the "brains." He is accused of the murder of a madam; much of the novel is given over to his proving his innocence. Through a job Cassia gets for him as bodyguard to a senator and his continued association with him even after they return from Ostia to pick up a "precious cargo", [as the senator terms it], he is witness to the revelation of long-buried family secrets and answers to questions upon questions. Nicely written and well-paced, I hope to read more of this appealing duo.

Highly recommended. ( )

I received an ARC of this book to read in exchange for a fair review. Blood of a Gladiator is the first book in an exciting new mystery series by Ashley Gardner. Set in ancient Rome during the reign of Nero, a newly freed gladiator Leonidas sets out to solve a mysterious death when it appears that he could be held responsible for the murder. Assisted by his slave Cassia, a scribe, his search goes from the palace of Nero to a lowly brothel and each answer he finds leads to more questions. I enjoyed this story very much and look forward to reading future books in this series.
