Story

The story

A man wakes in what seems to be an ancient era, the lowest servant in a noble estate. For five years he hauls filth, is beaten by anyone, and is ridden like a pet by the lord's son. Then servants corner him and let slip the truth: this place is no real estate, and Ms. Shaw arranged it all because he wronged her childhood sweetheart.

When the lady of the house returns, her face is his wife's. Melissa Shaw freezes at his whispered question, and Connor Hayes, her childhood friend, kicks him down for daring to approach her. Drowned, beaten, and made to kneel, he watches her kiss Connor and knows the five years were a lie. Yet a horn beyond the wall proves the outside world is near, and a birthmark on the young heir's back matches his son Aiden's.

He will find the way out, and repay every cruelty a thousand times over.

Opening excerpt

Somehow, I'd become the lowest-ranked servant in the entire estate. The estate lord's son would climb onto my back and ride me around the courtyard like some pet he was proud to show off. Anyone in the household could hit me, kick me, or shove me aside, and not a single soul would speak up.

These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
