Book excerpt: Lofty and powerful is Redeye. His subjects must serve and offer their minds as well as their bodies to him unquestioningly. Laela is his newest subject of interest, for she stems from an intricate race and has finally begun to bleed. In her, Redeye sees a slave that will bear more of the rare breed. But on Laelas way to bow before the ravishing master, a monster appears. A monster that kills slavers like Redeye for a sport.
