Amelia had never known anything but being a slave. When she becomes the property of her fourth master, a yautja who doesn't want the placid accepting nature beaten into her, she finds it difficult to adjust.

Imara has always been a free spirit. As a member of an African tribe that has held tight to the old ways, she can't help but be curious to the world outside of her own. But with rumors of a war breaking out between her people and settlers, and a strange (but fascinating) being that haunts the darkest parts of the jungle, Imara might have bitten off more than she could chew.
