Sand and Tears

By Vincent Diamond

In this world, Grezans are prized as exotic captives, on display in households of the wealthy.

And the cruel.

Tulano was saved by his Master, saved from a life of arena fighting, slavery, or worse. He's trained to be a warrior now, acting as bodyguard to his benefactor. But when his Master has to court his constituents, how far will Tulano have to go appease his Master and the wealthy who fund his campaigns?

NOTE: There are allusions to non-consensual sex in this story, but no explicit sexual content.
