Publisher Description:

A collar that defines him as property. A weapon that could set his sister free.

Enslaved teen Bensin promised his mother on her deathbed that he would free his little sister from the horrors of slavery. But when an escape attempt fails, their owners separate them, and Bensin is sold—powerless to protect the sister who needs him.

His new owner, a martial arts coach, trains him to fight in tournaments. As Bensin’s skills sharpen, so does his desperation, knowing each wasted moment brings Ellie closer to danger. Every plan to save her requires money—something he doesn’t have. His only asset is his growing mastery of the cavvarach, the weapon that could be his key to her freedom—or the tool of his destruction.

When Bensin learns Ellie is about to be sold to a ruthless owner, his last hope to save her lies in the Grand Imperial, the empire’s most prestigious—and brutal—fighting tournament. But the best of the best compete there, and after another failed rescue attempt leaves him injured and exhausted, Bensin faces impossible odds. Can he overcome the empire’s most skilled martial artists and win his sister’s freedom before she disappears into a life of suffering and abuse?
