Crulden the Ruiner is the name of a fierce gladiator who's broken the rules...and broken anyone that approaches. - It's *my* name. - It's a name that strikes fear into the hearts of all....all except the small human female who comes to clean my cell and glares at me the entire time. - My new owners want things from me. They want me to play in their games. They want me to win battles for them. - Well, I know what I want in return. - I want her. - And I don't care who I have to destroy to get her. But Mina doesn't want to be owned...and certainly not by one as terrible as me. How does a bad guy woo the girl when all he knows is death and destruction? *** Want to read other stories featuring a villainous (but not too villainous) character? Both are coming soon. ***
