Awesome book, very well written (IMO), emotionally gutting AND satisfying, excellent plot with superbly detailed characters, good & bad.
Cain (H) is a young enslaved cage fighter. Huge, muscular & tall, conditioned for decades by ‘Master’ to engage in death match fights for the Master’s profit. The ONLY way for Cain to continue to live is to WIN & slaughter every challenger he is pitted against. The only way Cain may avoid excuriating extended punishment is to OBEY his Master in everything. After after decades of brutal agonizing conditioning Cain has learned to never speak, never smile, SLEEP, TRAIN, FIGHT & WIN.
And since the Master’s fighters never leave the underground compound, or even their ‘rooms’ unless to fight, train, be punished or chemically experimented on, they don’t actually need anything~~~ except what a woman may provide. And the women then become the fighters rewards & incentitives to win.
But the fighters are no longer human, reduced to their bestial base instincts most women are not physically capable of being with the fighters more than a handful of times.
And this is what HELL Abby (h) wakes to find herself in~~~ the Master makes it very clear what her fate is to be: the prize for the winner of a Championship match. But Abby is beautiful, intelligent, practical, observant & determined to save herself. And of all the fighters she sees, only one seems to retain a shred of humanity in his tortured anguished eyes.
Cain.
And thus Abby sets all her hopes on Cain. But she doesn’t know the tortures, conditioning, HELL that Cain has endured, to the point just thinking about disobeying the Master brings him to his knees in agony. And the Master has dictated Cain obey, never speak & never leave his ‘home’ . . . .
GAH! Normally heroines irritate me, they’re either whiney, aggressive (vs assertive), drama queens, all about ME or TSTL. But Abby is an awesome heroine that I was rooting for from the beginning. After a very short & understandable panic at her situation, she reins in her emotions & starts to analyze how she may use whatever resources she may find or to which she has access. How refreshing: a female lead charcter that despite reasonable fear/terror, quells pointless panic & uses logic to try & help herself. But more than that, she is able to be honest about Cain AND the other fighters: they aren’t bad people, they’ve been beaten, tortured & conditioned into it. And another wonderous & heartwarming characteristic Abby has, is HER HEART.
And once Cain sets eyes on Abby: he decides she is HIS & ONLY HIS & whatever it takes to get & keep her~~~
Cain IS going to do.
Despite how awful, how DARK, how dismal & hopeless Cain & now Abby’s world is, Abby is a powerful ray of light & love even the Master cannot dim, & as the saying goes, one candle lights the way . . . .
One of the most heartbreaking, heartwarming stories I’ve read. I was actually feeling I was tearing up several times. An excellent satisfying LOVE story of the DARK kind.
