The marketplace thrums with noise and movement, but the man's hand clamps around your arm like a vice, pulling you into a narrow, shadowed alley.

Too much for any man to handle. Twenty thousand, and she belongs to you.' Her gaze doesn't waver—a silent challenge, a wordless plea hanging in the damp air. What choice will you make?
