Villein: A Tale from Ganymede - Pyffanye

Shaw Mercer makes a surprising discovery. After eight years of compulsory service on the world of Theriesian 8, his life is about to change.

Shaw, heir to the Mercer trading empire, finds himself at a crossroads as he wrestles with finding his own identity amidst his upbringing and the harsh adjustment of being treated without privilege after leaving Terra. He begins to wonder whether his future is really in his hands and decides to wander the galaxy after his time on Theriesian 8.

Now on Ganymede, he works alongside a close friend, Nazya Sakharov, whom he met while completing his service. He has settled into a work routine, but everything changes after Nazya inquires about his progress with a project they are working on.
Shaw realizes that the reason his life feels so mundane stems from a decision he made years ago, a behavior that has become such a part of him that he never realized its cost. Fortunately, he knows the one person who might be able to help him get his life back on track.
