Abused physically, mentally, and counted out….but were they? Were they watching, and waiting to rise…?

Most of them were barely teenagers when they were ripped away from their families by the ruthless Barbarian Pirates, who plundered the Kingdom of Xando. Blindfolded, they were whisked away to a strange paradise land where they were tormented and abused by their captors. They soon realized that no help was coming… then something happened…they were empowered and determined to rule their destiny. No longer slaves to fear, their enemy had no clue what they were up against …. No longer helpless kids, these youths have had enough. they were going home, and they made a vow that nothing …or no one would stand in their way! “Without thinking, Noved hurried to Red with outstretched arms, and without any hesitation, she flew into his warm embrace. Noved’s face turned red, as he felt her warm, shivering body close to his. He looked down into her eyes and saw a gentle gaze of trust and sweet surrender.” “Princess Kadee saw the flash of the blade in the moonlight, as the barbarian raised his knife again to strike at Noved. The arrow sang as she released it, and with precision it pierced the wrist of the barbarian, and knocked the knife to the ground.”
