As a human, I’m nothing more than someone else’s property. That’s the most a woman can hope for in this hell called Protheka. I’ll always have a master. I just pray to the gods for one that doesn't touch me. But what will happen when I hold the key that will change my new master’s life? When I harbor the secret that will give him his heart's deepest desires and take mine away? Will his newfound wealth and power lead him to forget me? Or worse, will his past catch up with us? I know I'll always protect him, but I don't expect him to risk everything for me. That is until I realize he's given me something that ties us together. Something he didn't even realize he had to give. His heart.
