Cassie's Waiting On: 

Blood and Sand by C.V. Wyk
Publication Date: January 16th, 2018

Synopsis:

Roma Victor. The Republic of Rome is on a relentless march to build an empire--an empire built on the backs of the conquered, brought back to Rome as slaves.

Attia was once destined to rule as the queen and swordmaiden of Thrace, the greatest warrior kingdom the world had seen since Sparta. Now she is a slave, given to Xanthus, the Champion of Rome, as a sign of his master's favor. Enslaved as a child, Xanthus is the preeminent gladiator of his generation.

Against all odds, Attia and Xanthus form a tentative bond. A bond that will spark a rebellion. A rebellion that threatens to bring the Roman Republic to its end--and gives rise to the legend of Spartacus.... 

This seriously sounds AMAZING!!!! I am so happy I stumbled upon this book because who doesn't want to read a book about a warrior princess and a handsome gladiator?! I honestly can't wait until this book comes out and I hope it's as good as I'm imagining it will be :)
