Hessa feeds the men kept in her master’s holding cells-men meant for the fighting pits and destined to die there for the pleasure of Bisura’s crowds…unless they are kept for breeding. In the darkness she discovers a stolen warrior from the distant island of Chalois, a muscle bound giant of a man who draws her into a dangerous game of lust she doesn’t want to end. Servants of the Omi House are not allowed to decide their fate, but Hessa longs to be more than what she was born into, and if she can find a way out, she plans to bring her stolen warrior with her.
