1 TEASER

"I won't be your slave!" I declared.

Mardichi was amused. A five-foot-tall rabbit hurling words like they were rocks. "Won't ye?"

"No!" I yanked at the men holding me. Making the chain between my shackled wrists rattle as I took what I intended to be a threatening step toward him.

Trying to show he wouldn't command me. That I wasn't afraid of him. But I was terrified.

He's the biggest creature I've ever seen.

Bigger even then the men that'd dragged me away from the river back home and loaded me on the ship in chains.

"Amusing." He drawled.

The slave trader had a string of women on the line. Most of them prettier than me. Taller and more hearty.

"Have one of them!" I ordered. Gesturing down the line.

Which earned me some dark looks from the other women.

It wasn't as though they'd been fond of me to begin with.

I'd not been winning any popularity contests ever since they'd loaded me on the damn boat.

But Mardichi was intrigued. Not following my gaze further down the line. His blue gaze locked on me.

"I like a bit of fire." He rumbled.

Not good.
