The Soldier — Kate Aaron

Three months. That's all it took for Kai to forsake freedom and learn to love his new life as pleasureslave to a wealthy Thirskan Underlord. Finding himself surrounded by his own people once more, Kai should have been happy: relieved to be rescued from slavery, and out of the clutches of a man who was the sworn enemy of his people. Yet his people are not how he remembers them. Distrustful of Kai, and disgusted by his relationship with not one man but two, they make it abundantly clear he no longer fits in. Beaten, starved, and tortured, when the chance comes to escape, Kai is barely strong enough to make the journey. Even if he succeeds, how could anybody ever love the thing he's become in order to survive? CONTENT WARNING: This book contains scenes of an adult nature, including graphic violence.
