Yui, a betrayed thief sold into sexual slavery, is seeking any way to escape the horror of her fate and return to the freedom she was forced to leave behind. Haruto, the outspoken heir of the High Priest and Priestess, is being sent to a life of brutality laced with the threat of death for his insolence and near blasphemy against his parent's religion. Drawn passionately to each other, at first through agreement, but then through desire, they flee society's chosen roles for them, finding instead an underground rebellion and another love, Sam. As the High Priest becomes power hungry, issuing missives further denigrating the female class, it becomes clear that something must be done. Yui and Haruto, along with Sam, return to where they started in the Capital City, only, this time, they have sworn to make a difference.

Implied rape; not an actual scene, but damn near close.

World and character development as well as grammar and punctuation.

I feel like I lack the ability to easily give descriptions that are beautifully worded.

I'd like to be better at the storytelling, in general.
