“Next! Male. Aged seventeen. Would make a good butler or servant. Starting bid is one hundred coins…”
Ellie couldn’t believe that she was seeing people being bought and sold like cattle.
“I want my human.”
“Humans are not meant to be our slaves! You cannot have her!”
“My, my. You are stunning. For a human, of course. I would love to take you out to dinner some time.” Avery said suavely.
“Thank you. I’d really just like to get home. I’m not interested in you or staying here longer than necessary.”
Avery was surprised that she had so blatantly rejected him. He looked as though he had been slapped across his perfect face. His violet eyes widened in disbelief.
***Ellie is a human who is kidnapped by a fairy. She is supposed to be sold at an auction where fairies buy humans as slaves, but the Ozul takes a liking to her and decides to keep her for her own. She escapes with help from Elvin who is infiltrating the auction and goes to the castle. She learns that there are 'tunnels' between the realms that a mythical being can use to travel through, but they only open once every three months, so Ellie is trapped until the next cycle begins.
Avery, arrogant, prideful, handsome. Knows he can have whatever woman he wants and finds himself only wanting Ellie.
