Erik, the best thief in the borderlands, is caught stealing the Eye of Gor'vath from Krag the Unbroken and expects the orc chieftain to execute him.
The battle-scarred warlord instead keeps the human at his feet, and what starts as brutal punishment becomes a darker hold Erik cannot shake.
Collared and trained to serve, he discovers a hunger he never named as Krag demands not mere obedience but absolute, willing surrender.
Krag's claim does not remain private: the watching clan wants a taste, and ritual chambers, permanent marks, and trials before the old gods push Erik past every limit he knew.
The man who once lived for freedom finds himself pleading for captivity under a possessive master, bound by size, power, and primal ownership.
