Description In Pursuance Of Books At His Throat, A Promise
In the slave city of Spire, Ellis has been discarded. His former master, a man who was supposed to teach him and take care of him, passed away, leaving Ellis alone and in danger of being taken to the Facility. Ellis is desperate to avoid that fate. He seeks a master to take him on, guiding him into adulthood as well as a profession. Ellis has had desire stolen from him—he’s been trained to blush, to submit, to give in. He doesn’t know how to cope with William, a man who wants the real Ellis.William is a Master, a man born in a neighbour city that does not deal in slavery. He has had bad experiences with slaves in the past, but all that changes when he rescues Harte, a young slave whose abusive master had all but destroyed him. Together, they are content in their mutual roles, not looking for anything more. But when Ellis catches the eye of Harte, and by extension, William, their relationship changes in ways for which they are unprepared.
Harte is a born submissive, a young man who lives for his role. He’s bratty but genuine. William, his master, is his entire life. Harte never expected to have room in his heart for another, but Ellis is beautiful and different and fills a place in his life that he hadn’t known was empty.
If only Ellis could learn to ask for what he desired, what he needed, then maybe William and Harte could help him. But Ellis is trapped inside himself, insecure and afraid. To stay with William, he only has to ask...but that’s the one thing Ellis cannot do...

When I first read the name of this book, I thought it would be about vampires. That is what drew me in. When I then looked at the book, the premise sounded good and I thought I would give it a go. I am very glad that I did.The story was not as dark as some others that I have read, but this story did capture my attention and kept it. All three of the male main characters were well written and I enjoyed spending time with them.Parts of this world were not quite clear enough for my liking, but thisThe world-building made no sense whatsoever. And the book was too long.But, I enjoyed it, so all's good.)
Anyone who skims through my bookshelves will know that I have an interest in slavefic and especially the M/M variety! I was keen to read At His Throat, A Promise since it came highly recommended by friends on GR whose opinion I value.Unfortunately, this just didn't work for me, I found the protagonist Ellis too juvenile and the fact that he was constantly craving sex with his new friend Harte and their master William was underwhelming to say the least.I didn't find the plot compelling or the
Warning: There may be a lot of capital letters in this review.I have SO MANY THOUGHTS about this book. It drew me in right from the beginning, the prose was excellent and Ellis won me over right away. I also liked Harte almost instantly, although it took me a bit longer to warm up to William. I really enjoyed the first quarter of the book, watching Ellis discover himself as a person instead of as an object. I loved seeing the way he completed Harte and William's relationship, and made them a
Very good - reminiscent of some other slave books such as Slavebreakers. It had some meat to it, with 570 pages. It lost a star for me as it was repetitive in some spots.
Spoiler Ahead This book was picked for me in the M/M group pick it for me challenge and I must say that my picker got it just right. Ellis has been discarded.

Spoilers.This book should have bugged the shit out of me. The three main characters, specifically the two slaves, have sex with others than those in the triangle relationship. A few times, even. And they enjoy it.That is my biggest fucking pet peeve.But, for some reason, it didn't bother me here. Not TO much, anyway.Why?Because there is so much love between the three, Ellis, Harte, and William, that it's almost impossible to ignore. And there are specific reasons that these
