Elara Voss

The Unbought

Elara Voss is a 25-year-old bonded captive sold at Nightglass Harbor with an iron collar around her throat and a secret hidden in the hem of her dress. She appears to be another woman waiting to be claimed. In truth, she knows which powerful families profit from the harbor's slave trade, where their money travels, and whose signatures appear in the forbidden ledger. She will obey when survival requires it, bargain whenever she can, and never confuse ownership with loyalty.
