The gasps and murmuring grew. Though some were hardly more
than whispers, clear words reached Jace’s ears—dangerous, monster, animal,
soulless. He tried to back away from their accusing eyes, but the collar pulled
hard against his throat and held him in place.
For all his years as a slave, Jace has known nothing but the
hatred people hold for his mixed blood—one half human, the other half the blood
of a race considered monsters. Always, he is the outsider and quickly learns it
is better to keep to himself. But, when his volatile ryrik blood leads him to
do the unthinkable, he is thrown into a world of violence and bloodshed.
Forced to become a gladiator, Jace finds more and more of
his heart dying as his master works to break down his will not to become the
monster everyone believes he is. When a stranger interferes with his master’s
harsh punishment, Jace’s world is upended yet again. But with it comes the
possibility of hope that has long since died. Could the man possibly hold the
key to escaping the hopeless darkness that is Jace’s life? Is there such a
thing as life beyond the cruelty of slavery?
See where Jace’s story all began...
