The Making of a Slave: Part 2: Enslaved Against Her Will

Rate this book
Picking up where the first part left off, Melissa's accidental slave journey through the tropical country of Grabesh continues. Freed from the Health Office’s cages, she clings to a fragile hope—just ten days until the state collar branding her a slave comes off.

But in a country where slavery is real and legally binding, freedom always seems to slip through her fingers. An entanglement in a debt and a sinister offer unravel her plans, forcing her to stay in a merciless slave system.

Will Melissa be able to regain her freedom?

This story contains themes of slavery, enforced nudity, and humiliation in a dystopian psychological drama. It portrays a brutal descent into subservience, not a tale of love or liberation. If this content upsets you, or you favor hopeful endings, consider skipping this one.

Enslaved in a foreign country

I liked the book and am looking forward to the next sequel (The Slave Academy).
The blurb is pretty well done.
I liked it even better than the first book.
It contains a few illustrations which I consider a nice bonus, especially when it comes to bondage positions.

I will give it four and a half stars.
I will give it four stars here and five stars on Amazon. Here I can explain this in more detail.

So, why only four and a half stars?
The character development is good, but could be better.

In this book we delve not only into the thoughts of Melissa but also into those of Markus.
The characters' thought processes are partly ambivalent, but nevertheless sufficiently easy to understand. Markus' development is particularly interesting.

The story takes place in Zawadi, a coastal village with a small tourist resort, in Grabesh. This is a small (fictional) tropical country in Africa. The inhabitants are predominantly black. A national language is mentioned, but English seems to be a kind of administrative language there. At least nobody seems to have any trouble communicating with Mellissa in English.
In Grabesh, slavery is real and legally binding. Slavery is rooted in the culture and infrastructure of the country, but white slaves are a rarity there.
The racial difference is present in the context, but is only mentioned very subtly or in passing in the story. The citizens of Grabesh have no slave trauma to deal with. They come from a proud tradition of victors who enslaved subjugated prisoners. Therefore, from their point of view, there would be no reason for revanchism.

It is a merciless slave system. Slaves are recognizable by their nakedness and collars. They are often treated like cattle or pets. And of course as cheap labor. Some western tourists enjoy their vacation by renting sex slaves.

As a slave, Melissa is not allowed to wear clothes or shoes. Therefore, she is always naked and barefoot. She has been chipped with a tiny sub dermal transponder and has an ear tag. She always wears a locked slave collar. In addition, she is occasionally shackled and handcuffed. In public, she is led on a leash, chained or locked in a cage. She is not allowed to use public seating. She must treat free people respectfully and submissively and is not allowed to talk to them without being asked.

This is pretty much standard for such slave stories.
It's all very well described and interesting. The way the author describes Melissa's feelings as she gradually gets to know these conditions and apparently has to endure them permanently is well told.

A few notes about some characters:

Melissa “Mel” Maurer, english slave girl
She was amazingly naive.
Originally, she formally agreed to her enslavement. Now she bitterly regrets this ill-considered decision. It was stupid, trusting, thoughtless and a complete misunderstanding of the circumstances.
She is actually neither submissive nor masochistic.
Melissa only reluctantly follows the strict rules that apply to slaves. She suffers from the everyday thoughtlessness with which those around her act in dealing with slaves; the humiliation, deprivation and occasional pain.
Under the growing pressure of suffering, her urge for self-preservation awakens.
It remains to be seen whether her stay in the slave academy will break her attitude.

Arbek, black boyfriend, from Grabesh, grew up in England
attractive, carefree, sunny disposition
A moron who made a series of ill-considered wrong decisions that got Melissa into more and more trouble.

Markus Wagner, german ex-boyfriend
intelligent, thoughtful, jealous, frustrated
Not originally dominant, but someone who carefully recognizes and exploits an opportunity
Markus asserts his dominance over Melissa more and more emphatically.
