"Bestiarius" is a unique historical fantasy set in a fictional version of ancient Rome, where slaves, orphans, and monsters fight in brutal battles in the Colosseum. In this world, defeat means death, and victory means another day of life. The main character, Fin, is a talented gladiator raised and trained by the last living Wyvern, a mythical creature whose presence leaves an indelible mark on his life.

This story is a perfect blend of gladiatorial combat and mythological creatures, combining elements of martial arts, survival struggles, and fantastical beings that resemble the world of The Lord of the Rings. All around him, there are legendary mythological creatures, and the battles are not just a matter of life and death but also questions of honor, glory, and fate.

Masasumi Kakizaki, author of "The Lair" and "Green Blood", brings this story to life with a remarkable attention to detail and atmosphere. Bestiarius is a dark yet thrilling tale of combat, bravery, and the inevitable harsh environment, where every battle is a reminder of how fragile life is and how often fate is decided in an instant. This novel offers a deep exploration of the nature of battle, glory, and mythological themes, making it an essential read for fans of historical fantasy and mythology.
