Blinded by murderous intent, after the earth-shattering and eye-opening revelations, Spartacus plots revenge, regardless of the cost. And with Solonius' fate sealed, Lucretia and Batiatus are on pins and needles, waiting for Glaber's patronage. Meanwhile, as victorious Crixus continues to press his luck, a new house slave arrives to change everything, and an impossible challenge awaits the Champion of Capua. But more and more, the stakes are rising, paving the way for the desperate, mad last stand of the doomed.
