Born as a slave in the Cult of Fire, Kinvara was ripped from her mother's side as soon as she weaned, never to know who her parents were. Her young mind forced the memories of her siblings and mother into the dark recesses of her mind, never to be found. It was easier that way.

First master: Kinvara's work didn't begin until she was 7 months old, her first master was a kind young man who used her as a messenger. His mate had passed and he took Kin in as a daughter, though he never let her forget her station for fear of backlash, and cared for her until she was 9 months old. At 9 months, he found a new mate and moved to her pack, leaving Kin in the hands of a new master..

Second master: 9 months-12 months. Kinvara is taken in by a bitter woman who she nicknames The Harpy in her mind. The Harpy verbally abuses Kinvara, denying her food and shelter even in the dead of winter and causing Kin to fall ill. Kinvara develops a wracking cough that the healer, an elderly old wolf, treats. Growing a soft spot for the girl, she passes her knowledge of toxins onto Kinvara. After the elder dies of old age, Kin poisons her master and finds herself in even worse hands..

Third master: 12 months-20 months. Kinvara is passed to a lecherous middle aged wolf, one she has to physically fight to protect herself from in an attempt to remain unbesmudged. Instead he turns to physical abuse, rendering the girl farther into her mind to the point of insanity. She snaps, attempting to rip his throat out and is mutilated for her efforts. A chunk is ripped from her underbelly, the other wolves leaving her to die..

Freedom: Kinvara wills herself to live, she will not let them win. And despite the odds, she does. Kin wanders alone for now but who knows what is yet to come for the former slave..
