Blood and Fire is the second title in Gladiator School, a series of novels set in ancient Rome.

His elder son Quintus has become a gladiator, while young Lucius works as a servant in the gladiator school. Lucius is convinced of his father's innocence — but how can he prove it?

Meanwhile, strange rumblings and tremors are felt in the town, and a seer is warning that the 'end of days' is approaching. What can this portend? Can Quin survive his fights with the seasoned gladiators of Pompeii? And is Valens all he seems?
