In a society where slavery is an accepted system and upper-class women run the government in most countries, a young slave in search of his own identity falls for the daughter of the most important woman of his region. Like Damian, Adelle does not fit into the society of her mother. Together they strive to escape and fight back against the system that kept both of them bound, far from free.
