A good part of the book was the main character (who is WAY not a nice guy) and his main slave, Septimus, getting his new slave, Octavia, trained. At the end of the book Octavia is pregnant, and it implies that her baby replaces the main character as the leader of this group, and his name is Decimus.JLeiberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13967643440686151879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517321471093430132.post-45409484142721282652015-03-15T17:46:46.270-04:002015-03-15T17:46:46.270-04:00Of course Octavia is her Ardean name given because...Of course Octavia is her Ardean name given because she has (had) seven older brothers.
