Anya is at the Four families quarterly talent reception in Ireland with Nicholai. As he drags her away and surreptitiously looks over his shoulder all she can think is danger, but that is all her life is now because she has no choice...she is his slave and everything is a danger to her.
Vigo of the Vittori family says he has information on who caused the plane explosion that killed Nicholai's family and his payment is an hour with Anya to do anything he wishes as long as no bones are broken. She can't believe what's she's hearing. He has never shared her before. She closes off her mind because no matter who rapes her...she is Nicholai's slave and has never had a choice.
Ezra has been kidnapped and beaten and can't tell where he is with the hood over his head. When it is removed he finds himself in a dance studio. When he demands to know where he is the petite woman informs him that that he is home and her slave. Then he notices her pointe shoes. He is being held prisoner by a ballerina.
This book is just WOW! Brynn Ford brings an amazing story of horror of Anya and Ezra's life after being kidnapped, but instead of being sold through the Four Families usual human trafficking system, they are kept as talent slaves. The Four Families hold quarterly business meetings, but before the talks begin the hosting family holds a talent reception for their entertainment. All of the talent are slaves.
All of the characters in this book are amazing. They are fully developed and you feel like you know them personally, although thankfully Nicholai and Vigo are not on my list of people to meet.
Anya has been Nicholai's slave for three years and she has learned how to survive, but she needs to make Ezra understand that he has to submit to her and follow her instructions to the tee.
Ezra is enraged that he has been kidnapped to be Nicholai's personal entertainment, but when he realizes that Anya is being brutally punished physically and sexually he submits to spare her pain.
Nicholai and Vigo are just plane sociopaths and monsters. When you think nothing can beat Nicholai for his sadistic ways you meet Vigo and learn that things can get so much worse.
This books ends on a heartbreaking cliffhanger and I can't wait to read more of Anya and Ezra's story.
