This book was very different from many of the books I've read. The primes of this book was about slavery. I loved this book in many ways and chilled by many others. It's worth reading, not just for the steamy parts but for the harsh ones as well.
This book begins with a male slave being strapped and chained to a block for auction. He's the most exotic and beautiful naked flesh to ever be seen. The noble men and women start a bidding frenzy that finally ends when, Najir, a slave from the house of Drakoulous makes a bid so high that no one can counter. It's luck that seems to have been pushed by fate that Najir happen to have attended this auction for his master, Lady Hanna. This new slave looks very much like himself, platinum hair, muscles that show how fit he is and most importantly green eyes like a cat. Najir believes he's found what his master has been looking for, he finds slave Vejhon. He offers a price so high that no one else can outbid. He purchases him right under one of their most hated rivals.
Najir purchases Vejhon and the new slave is delivered Lady Drakoulous, only it's not for what he believes. It takes her only a few days to convince him that in her home he is equal. She proves in many ways and soon he realizes that his fate could have been much worse.
The spin in this story is that she gives him many choices without truly informing him of his options. He's free up to a point and only in private like a dirty secret. Case in point is when he accepts that she holds his fate only to walk into an animal enclosure and be mulled by her pets, which turns out, are her family. He comes to find out after he survives that the master of the house descends from a bell-cat shape-shifter extinct species whom only the first born from any litter can change back and fourth. The second in the litter can be released and change freely only when the first born finds their true mate and bond while in bell-cat form.
Lucky for Vejhon he seems to be the masters mate. Unfortunately he cannot live a half life where in private they can show their love and be with one another and in public where he must walk behind her and be silent. It's a harsh lesson on what love truly is.
She must make a stand and try to push forward new laws to abolish the slavery that has become the norm.
Their's more than this in the story. It includes a fierce war between two houses, The House of Drakoulous and Baron Majum from The House of Majum. The Baron, a sick rapist who enjoys raping young boys and the Baron's Majum second in command who enjoy's rapping girls younger than 13. The Baron is also responsible for murdering Lady Drakoulous's parents and because of a current law she's been unable to seek justice or revenge.
Like I said this book was fabulous on many fronts and I'm already looking into some other books by Jax.....
