You are Mine by Janeal Falor (3 Stars)
Serena knows a few
simple things. She will always be owned by a warlock. She will never
have freedom. She will always do what her warlock wishes, regardless of
how inane, frivolous, or cruel it is. And if she doesn’t follow the
rules, she will be tarnished. Spelled to be bald, inked, and barren for
the rest of her life—worth less than the shadow she casts.
Then
her ownership is won by a barbarian from another country. With the
uncertainty that comes from belonging to a new warlock, Serena questions
if being tarnished is really worse than being owned by a barbarian, and
tempts fate by breaking the rules. When he looks the other way instead
of punishing her, she discovers a new world. The more she ventures into
the forbidden, the more she learns of love and a freedom just out of
reach. Serena longs for both. But in a society where women are only ever
property, hoping for more could be deadly.
