Captive Warrior

Nuwaa’s loyalty to her lord makes her a willing captive to the Kebo. Her mission is to kill their war-liege, Bor. Bor takes her captive but does not mistreat her as some of the other men are mistreating their captives. Her body takes him willingly, surprising both Nuwaa and Bor. They have been enemies from birth, yet there is a bond between them. Their lust knows no bounds as they struggle to come to understand the feelings between them. Nuwaa is reluctant to carry out her objective as her heart opens to Bor.

Bor is amazed by the woman’s skill. She is a warrior. Bor wants her body but does not want to take her by force. While his fellow warriors mistreat and dominate their captives, Bor struggles to understand what is going through Nuwaa’s mind. His treatment of Nuwaa raise doubts in his men’s minds – they cannot believe Bor treats her as an equal. Bor can see the conflict that Nuwaa is going through - they are natural enemies and she should eliminate her enemy but cannot deny the bond that is between them.

The instant connection between Bor and Nuwaa is at odds with the duty each have as a warrior. Bor must show control of Nuwaa to prove to his men that he is a mighty warrior. Nuwaa must fulfill her oath and demonstrate that a woman can be a strong warrior. The conflict of duty and love that Bor and Nuwaa feel drives this story.
