If they want to survive then they have to run away from the place which is not easy and if they get caught then their captor will surely give them capital punishment. Jackson is the one who has kept both of them as slaves for a long time and he is in no mood of letting them go free.
Rohan Hublikar and Dakota Krout have shown real pain in this story which they have written very carefully and accurately. Having an idea about Law of Strength and Hand Made Mage in mind before starting this book might not be a bad option after all. It will help every listener to get the concept of magic in his mind clearly.
