The Slave. Book 1

«The Slave. This is how they called me». In ominous criminal structures, where they do not know what conscience is, but understand what family and honor mean, there are such girls. Slaves. Magnificent and dangerous. Loyal aides to their masters.... Valuable employees of shadow organizations. Usually, they live quite comfortably — at least between assignments. Ella is one of them, but her fate is different. Since the age of sixteen, Ella has lived in captivity. She is used, she is mocked, this is her life. But one fine day, her master sells her. And Ella is deeply mistaken, believing that it cannot get worse than before. Her new master, Esher Scott, the head of a powerful criminal network, hates slaves in general — and Ella in particular. Day by day she plunges into a sticky nightmare, but refuses to give up. A brutal game begins, a rivalry of feelings, and in this clash, Ella must win. What it will cost her — that is another question. Her first stories were published by Sara Ravens (b. 1999) on Wattpad — the largest online platform for readers and writers. There, in 2020, the first chapters of «The Slave. Book 1» appeared, and in a community of 90 million people, the author became incredibly popular. Since then, the story of Ella and Esher has captivated the minds and hearts of countless audiences and continues to win new fans, while Sara Ravens has become the most famous and widely read Algerian writer in the history of her country: the trilogy «The Slave» is being translated into nine languages, these books have been read nine million times on Wattpad, and in France (Sara Ravens writes in French), the total circulation of printed editions exceeds half a million copies — these books have firmly established themselves on bestseller lists, pushing even Prince Harry's memoirs right after the release of the last part! For the first time in Russian!
