A debt paid in blood. A collar forged in iron.When the village of Arne is short on the winter grain tithe, it is Elian who offers himself as payment to keep his family from being exiled or worse. He pays with his body by throwing himself into indentured servitude under the ruthless Lord Tristan. Instead of living at the Keep Elian finds himself in the brutal limestone quarries. Everyone assumes, as even he does that he will be broken by labor. Yielding had never been in Elian's nature, and his refusal to yield catches the eye of the cold and calculating lord.
Pulled from the mud into Tristan's private chambers, Elian is drawn into an intense new reality. One of bondage and discipline, because Lord Tristan demands complete submission. Elian is made to wear a fitted collar, and thus begins his journey, which becomes one of strict discipline and absolute control. When Elian's brother Brennan revolt against the keep, Elian must decide where his loyalty lies. He must choose between his past and the master who seals their bond permanently with an iron ring.
