Vampires aren't the only ones enslaving humanity. With the disturbing conditions of a country named Biro, no laws seem to exist. Mercenary groups are easily hired. Prostitution is a common way to get by. Slavery chokes half the population. With money tight and medicine needed, young Christopher was quick to be sold to the market. Dark days lie ahead for Christopher, until another slave lights up his life and leads him down a path he never thought was possible. Hardships. Death. Love. Hope. Christopher is pushed to his limits... but this is only the beginning. This is a prequel to Humanity at Stake following one of the characters in the story.
