Summary

Gwen knows her life sucks right now. However, she is not a slave and she is free. Even if it comes at the cost of living and hiding in a cave. Her own family sold her, but this is life now and she accepts that. So when she finds a man face down in the snow seemingly from nowhere, she knows a kindred soul when she sees one. Except Gwen doesn't realize until it's too late that she might have been better off leaving him where he lay. It's a good thing for Blay that Gwen has a soft heart. At first, when Blay has to rely on Gwen's mercy he hates it. Waits for the knife in his back just like every other time. However, like all starved creatures, when someone gives you what you need, you keep coming back to them. Sometimes you can't help but hold onto what makes you feel alive. Even if you know it would be better if you left them alone. Book 5
