For most, he was a fable, but for others - the most valuable possession.
Captured by human bandits as a gift for their influential master, Ellyn has to learn how to survive in a situation he never pictured himself in - as a slave, trained how to behave and pleasure his new owner by none other than a dusk elf, a mysterious representative of his race.
Even though Veros, Ellyn's mentor, seems to be exactly what he thought a dusk elf would be - calculating, unsympathetic, savage - Ellyn can't help but feel like something doesn't add up.
What is it that escapes his attention?
Could it become a key to his freedom?
Or is it nothing but his imagination?
