About This Book
All Kemla dreams of is an adventure.
When she’s kidnapped by slave traders, meets a mage, becomes a bargaining tool and is attacked by bandits, she gets more than she ever wanted.
But will she earn her freedom?
Kemla lives the kind of boring, hiding out from certain death, type life that makes her dream of adventure, of escaping, of freedom. Her life takes a trilling and adventurous turn. Being a slave, a captive in chains, is terrifying, but her lust for freedom is now so much more tangible.
Then she meets Leon Swiftsight. A dark and mysterious slave trader with a gentle side which is obvious to her.
Leon may be her only hope, but he's not making her life any easier. Well, if you don't count rescuing her from the quarters of a particularly nasty trader with her pants still on.
When secrets from her past bubble to the surface she may have burnt the only bridge she had, Leon may never even look at her again, and she still needs to find a way to escape before the slave traders reach their final destination and she bows to a new master.
Magic is outlawed, but slave trading is a legitimate profession, which causes some problems for Kemla when she’s captured by slave traders and accused of possessing magic. This series is highly recommended for all the Tamora Pierce fans out there. With a strong female protagonist, who manages to get herself into a lot of trouble, and a cute male slave trader who keeps making sure she can’t escape.
