description: A quiet slave is an obedient slave. Sixteen-year-old Eeshay hasn’t learned how to speak, write or read. As a slave in the Iron World, a place of chains, whips and masters, her training lies in being respectful and knowing her place, even if her new Master doesn’t. Her world is turned upside down, once Orza owns her. She leaves her harsh world behind, only to come face to face with a world far worse than her own Eighteen-year-old Orza is one of the best fighters from the Warrior World. He is highly respected and much feared throughout not only his world but the three other worlds as well. He is an Upper-Class citizen, and it's his first time joining The Trials. This is his chance to earn the most points and get the best slave. When he sees the girl of his dreams and realizes she is a slave, winning Eeshay and overcoming his heart is the hardest thing he has to face. When he owns Eeshay and their hearts become entwined, it’s all they can do to not only stay together but survive while doing it. The laws say it’s forbidden for Masters to be romantically involved with their slaves, and Orza finds not even he is above this law. The Upper Class, and his own father come down on him hard for his childish mistake, hurting Eeshay to prove their point. Orza is determined to fight the laws to keep Eeshay at his side, causing a war and striking up a rebellion. Their lives are on the line as Orza not only tries to defend Eeshay but the love they share.
