Chains and shackles do not impede his freedom; Elliot Craig is.

Blamed for the death of his mother, Oliver is a 16-year-old who has been deprived of his freedom since his birth, receiving cruel punishments that bring him to the brink of despair. When the opportunity to escape to the Golden Star, the city of space, and new opportunities appear, Oliver will meet the world that his mother spoke to him so much about, discovering that life is much more than a fairy tale.

Prisoner

The world stopped for a few long, interminable seconds; deciding who was the most surprised was complicated. Donnell Dunn kept looking at the boy with dazzling, terrifying emerald eyes: a drop nose like his own and an elongated face. It was as if he was looking at a combination of his twenty-year-old self and Collette...it was terrifying. 


On the other hand, Elliot Craig had stopped putting much strength into his grip on Oliver's hair; the man in the hood had let his face show through the cold winds, and what he saw frightened him for a moment. It was Donnel Dunn... No, he must be going crazy for having that brat for so long. He had killed him, watched him stop breathing, and thrown him into a ravine. 


Before either of the two adults could react, Chrystal grabbed Oliver's hand and pulled him tightly to her to free him from the demon and start running away.
