In Book 2 of Gladiators, Gold is sold and he and Samson are parted.
Gold begins a new life at the House of Phineas, where he lives a more luxurious life, gets to fight again in the arena, and is subjected to many erotic adventures.
Although he lusts after a slave who is denied him, his heart belongs to Samson, whom he believes he will never see again.
Then Simeon, his former master, who laments his loss of Gold, sets up a contest for him to fight his own champion, Samson.
Will Gold be able to kill his own heart in the arena?
