Horse Master, Aytan Kirrae, cannot believe his eyes.  A small Red Woman has just ridden off on the stallion named for him, a horse bred for the Empress Ya.  He waits for her return, flipping her over his knee, meting out what he thinks will be a kinder punishment than she would receive from the Magistrate.  He has no idea the small Red Woman can kill him with a single drop of her blood.

Pulled along to the future against his will, Aytan thinks he’s dreaming, until he must share the Blood Bond with Tem to save her life.  Once he does, his own life will never be the same.
