Description

To most, Ellyn was little more than a fable. To others, he was a possession of extraordinary value. In Diamond Mirage, human bandits capture him as a gift for their influential master, forcing him into a life he never imagined: slavery. To survive, he must learn the conduct expected of him and how to satisfy his new owner, under the guidance of a mysterious dusk elf named Veros. At first, Ellyn’s mentor seems to embody everything he has always believed about dusk elves: savage, calculating, and unsympathetic. Yet beneath that seemingly familiar cruelty, something does not quite fit. As Ellyn struggles to understand his circumstances, he cannot shake the feeling that he is overlooking something important about Veros. Caught between his assumptions and his growing doubts, Ellyn faces questions that could change how he sees his captivity. Is there something about his mentor that might offer a path to freedom, or is the possibility merely a product of his imagination? Diamond Mirage centers on that uncertainty, following Ellyn as he searches for understanding in a situation where his fate belongs to someone else.
