When Sara is sold into slavery, she is convinced her life is over. But as she learns to navigate her new position in the small ruling group in the community she is also confronted with the harsh realities of the politics of an emerging empire, the dynamics of a complex trade network, and the intricacies of a harsh and complex cultural paradigm. As she finds her place, she is forced to see the bigger picture through her master's eyes.
