Book Blurb
Three undercover allies. One dangerous master. A mission where desire cuts deeper than betrayal.
Ben Miller knew volunteering meant surrendering everything—his safety, his body, even his name. Offered as a “pet” to a ruthless rebel, he’s tasked with infiltrating the Travian uprising from the inside. Terrified yet resolute, he submits to Dane, a brutal traitor whose cold touch hides a spark Ben never expected.
Kath understands the cost of one mistake. Exiled from his family, he’s desperate to reclaim his honor. Captured and claimed by Dane, he suddenly finds himself positioned to gather crucial intel—if he can survive the harsh pleasure his new master demands…and his own growing hunger to please him.
Dane has spent years trapped in boredom and privilege, aching for purpose. Now undercover in the rebellion, he wears the mask of a murderer to bring traitors down from within. Using the boys assigned to him is supposed to be strategic. Necessary. Detached. But the more he touches Ben and Kath, the harder it becomes to remember where the lies end and the longing begins.
Together, the three form a fragile alliance built on secrets, submission, and a rising desire that threatens to derail their mission. Trust is a luxury they can’t afford—but without it, none of them will make it out alive.

Book Review
I was very happy to see that the author was continuing her story arc regarding the rebellion against the Travian matriarchal rule and the men who are fighting to end it. Again, I must issue my warning that these books contain scenes of non-con and dub-con, along with abuse and torture. The publisher has placed a warning on this series but I'm re-emphasizing it. If any of these situations disturb you please take the warning seriously and perhaps choose a different read.
It was wonderful to see people I'd grown to adore over the last couple of installments show themselves as having been instrumental in getting Ben established into the rebellion camp. Rone, Frey, Preen (love him!), Dax, and Wen all play a part in getting this mission set in place. Ben is chosen not just for his looks, his homosexuality, and his virgin status, but also because he's got kick-ass engineering skills and can get the information needed from the rebels’ computers. It comes as a surprise to Rone and Frey that when they deliver Ben to Dane, they find Kath already in the position of Dane's toy. Unfortunately the information needed to explain the situation to Kath and Ben can’t be transmitted before Rone, Frey, and Preen leave.
It was extremely entertaining to see how long the author was going to drag the story out before all three - Dane, Kath, and Ben - discover they are on the same side and each is undercover. The prize is to locate the list of names of Travians on their home world who are secretly working with the Leader and his rebellion in order to overthrow the matriarchal society along with the caste system. The Leader is quite unique and Dane has spent a lot of time working to get close to him, but the Leader is very crafty, a sadist, and trusts no one.
An extremely satisfying finale to the series, I think. It sure seemed as if the author wrapped everything up and I got an opportunity to see Wid, Kell, Mac, Narith, Joel, and Arath also, which was an extra bonus. Dane, Kath, and Ben were really wonderful and I adored their ending.
