Shadow of the Warlord

Axel Durant was sold into slavery by his own uncle when he was just a boy. He was purchased by a kind-hearted man named Malcolm—a small-time merchant and full-time farmer who lived in the peaceful village of Catler. Unlike many slave owners, Malcolm and his wife treated Axel with dignity and compassion. Though technically a labor slave, Axel was given a room in the main house and never mistreated.
