This is the story of Sawyer and Aribelle on the world of Aerthe.
When she first meets Sawyer, her fear of him makes Aribelle do something foolish - she orders her men to cut off his balls. This is not an auspicious beginning.
In spite of her castration notions, when a Scav warband comes calling he saves her life. Ex-special forces, calculating, and slow to anger, Sawyer is also slow to cool down. Aribelle has definitely riled him.
His plan: to rise above slavery, to become a big man in this strange new world, and to find his sister, Fern.
As for Aribelle, she owes him and he intends to cash in the debt. She's his, no matter how she much she wriggles and squirms.
With war brewing, with a JI-mech almost dying at his feet, and with a girl to claim, things are about to get interesting for this one human man in a world of warriors, mechlings, and the landships of the Swathe.
