Summary
Liam remembers almost nothing before the ridge. He knows that he dies screaming, again and again, but can't stay dead. Advisor Nikita keeps him in a constant loop of agony, misery, and death.
The regime is sadistic. They're never finished abusing Liam and making him suffer. He's a ridge resident, the lowest of the low. The women of the compound don't think of him as human. Cruelty toward men is expected and enjoyed in a world where the roles are roughly reversed.
Liam is a plaything for monsters. Mornings are for General Lin and Advisor Evans' excruciating experiments. Liam gets to be General Lee and her Bloodweavers' afternoon snack. At dusk, he's Advisor Alisha's entertainment for the evening. It. Never. Stops.
Liam is jealous of the other slaves in the compound—the ones who get treats, presents, warm baths, and love. He's practically forgotten what love is. He only remembers the bakery and yearns to make sweets for a girl who might... hold him.
Memories are funny. When he meets Anika again, the room is sweet, her touch intoxicating. If she could love him, he'd be saved. So she HAS to. Liam must convince Anika he's worth something, that he can be loved, or he'll spend eternity in a loop of torment.

Summary
Betrayed and broken, former General Rourke is stripped of everything but his life, which is now the property of his most cunning rival, General Thalia.
"As if he’d heard her thoughts, his ribs seemed to contract. And there, in the flickering firelight, she saw it—the unmistakable, livid imprint of a boot heel, a bruise blackening the pale skin and sharp bone of his side. Someone else had already had her thoughts and acted on them. She blew out a long, winding breath and took a fortifying, unladylike, gulp of wine.
She wouldn’t, but he didn’t know that. Any opportunity for a freshly built camaraderie between them had been shattered in the desert, and she didn’t blame him for it in the slightest. She forced herself to turn her eyes off his prostrated form and back to the platter. She perused the offerings with feigned enthusiasm. As if this were planned. As if it were normal."Series
