Synopsis

When all you've ever known is pain and fear, it can wear down the mind and body to a simple shell waiting for it all to be ended.

A slave girl has her life completely changed, when a warlord buys her from a travelling craftswoman.

From running until she is twelve, to being a slave, the now seventeen year old girl has to change her way of thinking as Lance only has two purposes for her.

Be his footrest and find a reason to live.

As she finally gets a name and finds pleasure in the simple things he gives her, the shell she lives in begins to crack, experiencing new emotions and realisations.

With the world stacked up against her, will Lance prove that being inferior doesn't mean you're not human.

In this world humanity is split into 3 categories:

Superior: categorised by yellow, gold or orange eyes, they are immune to the mutagen that plagued the planet.

Inferior: humans who didn't experience the mutagen thus they have remained unchanged.

Mutant: humans who have been grotesquely changed by the mutagen gas.
