This is just a test for my novel.

Annie Galler is a martial slave, born and bred to protect her Mistress Olivia Chronister at all costs.
Born into slavery, Anne was brought up in a world where the Gods never lost favor. Where rapid industrialization threatens strict tradition and culture. Her life was set from the moment she opened her eyes, a martial slave, bound to one Mistress; her childhood friend Olivia Chronister. Anne has come to accept her role, but when a slave catcher called Colmane comes to ask for her help in resolving a murder case, she must choose to continue in her duty or find the person she could have been.
Olivia Chronister controls vast wealth, and many people would like to lay claim to it. But she has a bigger problem; she's in love with her martial slave. To bed your own martial is scandalous, to be in love with them is social suicide. If she is not careful, then this could bring her house to ruin.
If only she can keep to tradition and do what is expected of her then she could avoid that fate.
