Summary
Finn was ten years old when his father sold him.
For fourteen years, he survived. He didn't fight. He didn't run. He learned to make himself small and useful, because wanting things was the fastest way to break his own heart, and because none of this mattered anyway. He was going to die soon, one way or another. By twenty-four, he stopped believing in rescue. In hands that don't hurt and In people who don't leave.
Then Micah found him.

Summary
Nikolai's not rich. He's not powerful. He’s fifteen, tired, and stuck in a body that keeps betraying him. He never thought he’d own a human. Then he got sick, nearly died, and the government handed him one. The slave is quiet, compliant. He folds Nikolai’s clothes, reads his moods, and acts like being owned is the best thing that ever happened to him. It makes Nikolai feel sick, or powerful, or both.
The slave doesn’t have a name. He has a number, a file, and an assignment. Keep Nikolai alive. Bred for obedience, trained to serve, desperate to be perfect. Don’t speak unless spoken to. Don’t resist. Don’t want. But Nikolai isn’t what he expected. He’s moody, awkward, sometimes kind, sometimes cold. And worst of all, he treats him like he’s real.
Nikolai's condition forces them together. Every second of every day. Neither of them chose this. Neither of them knows what they’re doing.
But the law says one belongs to the other, and once that line is drawn, it gets harder and harder to erase.

Summary
The relief of hearing that Sam is alive is a feeling like no other. Seeing the vicious realities of that is something else entirely.
He refuses to tell anyone what happened during his captivity though it's obvious it extends past the scars they can see. What his siblings do know is that hope was easily lost, harder to find and Sam isn't willing to look.
Darren has been arrested and that should be enough to make Sam feel safe. What if he's keeping something from them that could endanger them all?
(On hiatus while I make major changes to part one. Sorry!)

Summary
Prince Alexander spent years sending away gifts from diplomats and tactfully avoiding leading conversations. He never wanted a slave. Though as most things in his life, dispite his efforts, their kingdoms customs dictated the outcome. Just as he began to accept the ghostly thing that followed him wherever he stepped, everything changed.
Both taken captive by an enemy nation, Alex is forced to face what life is really like for those he thought beneith him. Having no one else to trust, he turns to the only person he can; Sebastian, his slave.
Together, they learn to fight for each other's freedom.
