Acquired Possession
(2017)(The first book in the Machinery of Desire series)
A novel by Cari Silverwood
The night Emery is taken she is reading emails in bed.
She awakens on another world. Aerthe, the world of the Swathe, the moving cities of the Mekkers.Blind on arrival and naked, no one touches her until the Mekkers decide humans aren’t people, and therefore can be bought and traded.
Though her sight returns, she becomes a possession of House Oren.
But someone else wants to own her, the House Master, Mako, a man who uses whips and canes like most people use a knife - daily, with efficiency and casualness.
She vows to never give in.
But when Emery runs and takes with her a most dangerous war machine, one not seen since the Last Days of the War… Mako is the man they turn to.
He will chase her down and retrieve her, and once he has her, he is free to do whatever he wishes to Emery.
This is a dark romance. If you don't understand where dark stories can go, this might not be for you.
Inspired by the Gor series by John Norman.
The complete series is now available in the Machinery of Desire boxset
