What if he lived, and the Romans rewarded his treachery with the gladiator school where he once bled? Welcome to the House of Ashur. No longer a slave, Ashur has clawed his way to power, owning the same ludus that once owned him. But ruling a band of merciless gladiators is child&#8217;s play compared to surviving the savage world of Roman politics &#8211; a cutthroat game in which betrayal isn&#8217;t a sin, it&#8217;s currency. He flips tradition on its head by unleashing Achillia, a fierce and powerful gladiatrix eager to prove herself worthy in a man&#8217;s world. Together, they ignite a new kind of spectacle that shocks, disrupts, and offends the elite with every drop of blood.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Spartacus: Blood and Sand<\/em>&#8221; debuted on STARZ in 2010 and was followed by the prequel series chapter &#8220;<em>Spartacus: Gods of the Arena<\/em>&#8221; in 2011, and two additional chapters, &#8220;<em>Spartacus: Vengeance<\/em>&#8221; in 2012 and &#8220;<em>Spartacus: War of the Damned<\/em>&#8221; in 2013.
