'All Kemla dreams of is an adventure. When she’s kidnapped by slave traders, meets a mage, becomes a bargaining tool and is attacked by bandits, she gets more than she ever wanted. But will she earn her freedom? Magic is outlawed, but slave trading is a legitimate profession, which causes some problems for Kemla when she’s captured by slave traders and accused of possessing magic. This series is highly recommended for all the Tamora Pierce fans out there. With a strong female protagonist, who manages to get herself into a lot of trouble, and a cute male slave trader who keeps making sure she can’t escape.' (Publication summary)
