She was traded to him for a weapon.
Traded, as if she was no better than a piece of property. Gova Dov doesnāt know what to expect, but it canāt be as bad as the abuse sheād received at the hands of her last master. Gova has never known kindness like Muam. She soon learns she can trust him, but can he trust someone like her? Heās told her sheās free to leave, but does she want to go? Does he even want her to stay?
Muam Kai works hard to earn his living, and payment in flesh wonāt exactly buy his next meal, but he canāt turn the abused girl away. However, heās no slave owner.
When Govaās past comes back for her, Muam vows that no matter what happens to them, they will always have each other. Always find each other. In this life or the next.
It's a dying promise that would prove to be a curse on them both.
