Captured and dragged into a city ruled by cults and blood, Zoe is thrown into the arena where slaves fight and die for survival. In this place, pain is power, faith is control, and freedom is an illusion designed to break the weak.
Zoe refuses to break.
With every battle she survives, she grows stronger, faster, and more dangerous. The crowds begin to chant her name, and the city begins to fear what she is becoming. As she rises through violence and loss, Zoe realizes she is no longer fighting just to survive.
She is becoming something the city cannot control.
She is becoming Mad Zoe.
