In peace or in war, whether royal or slave, we all need to be needed.
When his father dies in the middle of a harsh winter, Stannis of Barony Jazinsk makes the ultimate sacrifice: selling himself into slavery to feed his family. When an envoy from neighboring Barony Deterikh buys Stannis as a diversion for his head of state, the young rabbit is thrust into the middle of a war twenty years in the making. Rumors of dark alchemy and hints of betrayal have put a fragile peace at risk, and Stannis’ arrival at the Deterikh court threatens to tip that delicate balance. With drums beating on the horizon, can the lowly pleasure-slave manipulate his new owner into preserving peace? Can Stannis resist the call of freedom to stop a war between his old home and newfound love?
