Esperanza
whispered, “I don’t think I can ….”
Sultana
Leila’s stinging slap cut her off. Esperanza clutched her cheek, stunned into
silence. No one had ever dared raise a hand against her before, not even Fra
Rufino when she had once thrown his lavishly decorated Psalter into the Tagus River.
Leila’s beatific smile taunted her. “You do not think, Butayna. You do not feel. You are a slave
of this harem. Slaves have no thoughts or emotions. They live and die by the command
of the Sultan and his family.”
Esperanza returned her attention to the brocaded weave. I swear, I won't be a slave forever.
Now for seven
