Abandoned by her mother and betrayed by her people, Idima finds herself dragged from her village and into the dark forests of the Drae. A cripple separated from her crutches, Idima fears to fathom what beastmen could want with a slave who can neither work nor run away. Despite the creature's protection of his newfound property, Idima knows that beastmen are nothing short of monsters, no matter how human they may appear.
Taken further from her home and crutches with each passing day, her hopes for escape quickly begin to fade, but when conflict erupts between the beasts, the tables are turned and her enemy’s life lands in her hands. With the creature she’s been taught to hate at her mercy, will Idima be able to overcome the past? And even if she can, could a crippled girl be enough to secure their future?
Idima lives in a small village on the border of Den Tizha- Holy Land of the mudim- and the Drae, the dark forest separating them from Dryad territory. Twenty-two and on her own, life is not devoid of difficulties as Idima was born crippled. But with the help of crutches and a free spirit, she leads an independent life in the face of prejudice.
The centaur is from Ahk Morden, east of the Drae Mountains, and needless to say is a long way from home as he raids mudim villages with his battalion.
The half-mud is a slave caught between two worlds, too manlike for one and too beastly for the other, he is an outcast wherever he goes.
