Tyrant's Toy

In a post-apocalyptic wasteland choked with radioactive dust, Ian works himself raw in hazardous scrap yards, trading his pride to keep his adoptive parents and sister fed. A chance encounter catches the eye of Caesar, a merciless warlord, and Ian is dragged into his military camp as a captive plaything. His family does not hesitate to abandon him in exchange for a truckload of canned food. Left to die of a rare radiation illness in a pit of corpses, Ian learns that twenty years of loving care was built on deception, and a quiet, fierce determination begins to take shape within him.
