Making a pledge to the goddess never ends well, Falthro had learned that the hard way. This time, it isn’t Falthro that will pay the price.

Condemned for a crime he didn’t commit, Dannel must build a new life as Falthro’s slave — even the truth cannot set him free. Mistakes can be more destructive than the worst malice, but sometimes devastation can grow into something more.

His Beloved Victim is a queer platonic fantasy about mistakes, forgiveness, healing, and a unique kind of love. With kink.

His Beloved Victim is a prequel to The Bargain. It’s set about 500 years before the start of The Bargain and can be read standalone.
