Gladiatrix

Linda Mooney

Sinossi

Captain Rylee Crockett, a member of the Galactic Force, is well-respected among her peers, and damn good at her job. Despite the hurdles of being a female captain, she has a loyal crew who see her as strict but fair, and with the newest additions, her crew makes her the best ship in the fleet.
 
She’s especially curious about the newest expert on board. Dr. Beck Graham, a xenobiologist who specializes in alien species, specifically the Purej, who the Galactic Forces have been fighting for some time now. When Rylee’s ship is ordered to provide backup for a warship in the middle of a battle with their alien enemy, a mistranslated communique is intercepted, and Beck helps her decipher its true meaning. She fears they’re being set up for an ambush, along with everyone else ordered to assist.
 
What was thought to be proposed peace talks with the Purej is not at all the situation they find themselves involved in. Rylee’s ship is overtaken, and she awakens alone on an unrecognizable planet, and is soon taken to an arena where it is kill or be killed. Every confrontation becomes a fight to the death, gladiator style—against alien creatures, or other Galactic Force members—purely for their enemies’ entertainment.
 
If Rylee lives through this, she vows to get her revenge for the devastating number of crewmen she’s lost. And for the man who had given her a glimmer of hope when it came to being loved.

Meikyou Shisui

After crossing Sionne off his revenge list and sealing the tremor-causing interdimensional portal for good, Light returns to the Abyss, where his debrief is interrupted by news from Mei. She tells Light they’ve found his younger sister, Yume, who went missing after someone—or something—destroyed their hometown. It turns out she is still in the Human Kingdom after being rescued by Princess Lilith, who kept her on as a maid. While Light makes plans to bring Yume to the Abyss, he reminisces about his life since they last saw each other. He recounts the days after he was betrayed, going from merely surviving the Abyss with Mei to pushing past his limits, summoning more overpowered allies, and eventually transforming the world’s more notorious dungeon into his very own hidden kingdom. When Light finally meets Princess Lilith himself, they find they share a passion for improving humanity’s lot—but a dark secret plagues her kingdom.

Not wishing to share the same fate, the beastfolk are determined to destroy the Great Tower. But how can a relatively weak nation fight a sorceress who has her own personal army of dragons? By fighting dirty, that’s how.
