The Flesh Cartel #10: False Gods (The Flesh Cartel Season 1: Damnation)
With a wedge at last driven between Mat and Dougie Carmichael, courtesy of Nikolai Petrovic€s expert manipulations, the brothers must each accept their new path forward: Dougie, a perfect slave, sweet and obedient and loving. Mat, a tightly reined dog, snarling and snapping but never allowed to bite.
Unfortunately, no transformation, however well planned, is without its growing pains. Mat€s leash is so tight it€s choking him. Dougie is tormented by a little voice inside his head €" a fragment of his former self €" that he cannot silence.
And Nikolai€s most difficult tests for the brothers are still to come.
The critical question isn€t whether they can pass those tests, but whether they even want to. Without each other to lean on and live for, a bleak future has become bleaker still. But Nikolai€s too good to let his slaves slip through his fingers €" by death or by despair.
A noose, a nighttime sky, a shared lover, an unexpected friend. A foreboding forest cabin. A lavish party with all the debauchery Nikolai€s clientele could want. It€s all coming in season 3 of the Flesh Cartel.
