In the kaerling stronghold, slaves and servants are possessions without any right to privacy and are expected to submit to their kaerling masters without complaint.

"I hate Spur, even though we only meet him at the end. I love Otta and Lally." K Dawber

Lally despairs of ever escaping her life as Clay Mead's slave girl, whilst Otta fears that her new host, Amon, may have designs upon her.

Otta still cannot recall her memories, and Amon and Jas are curious as to who her father is. She is still trying to reconcile that her mother, Luella, is the kaerling woman, Arnet, who disappeared over twenty years before.

Despite being under Amon's protection, Otta is still vulnerable to attack from Spur and his friends because she cannot connect with the power within. What will it take for her to find both her power and her history?
