A fantasy with
a dark tone the setting is a training facility within a militaristic
society where there is little empathy, slaves and trainees alike are
cruelly punished, the penalty for desertion being flailed to death,
lesser crimes lead to slaves being disfigured or losing hands. There
are two central characters: Laia who enters the training camp as a
slave to spy on its Commandant who is the unfeeling mother of the
Elias, a reluctant trainee whose best friend Helene is the only other
female in the camp. Elias encounters jealousy when he pays attention
to the slave whose handler on the outside is red-haired Keenan
described as shorter but muscular. Hence a potential for two love
triangles.
