Listen on Spotify ↗
A fantasy-soundtrack and rock-inflected playlist for Leith’s brutal climb through Arrow’s gladiatorial arena, with the instrumental half moving from tense preparation to hard-won resolve. The vocal songs turn toward the book’s danger, deception, sacrifice, and steamy romance, balancing defiance with vulnerability.
