Hi, not sure if this is the right place, but it didn't seem to fit into any other category for me. I remember reading a story a while ago about this girl who gets captured and sold by slave traders to a general (or other high ranking individual) in this society of a special race of warriors? And the person she's sold to clamps these gold rings to her neck that control her in some fashion, but she ends up finding another set and stealthily putting them on him, leading to some weird stalemate scenario. Also, apparently the weapons/guns of this race are powered by the magic or energy or whatever of these mage-like people, and the girl apparently has similar powers that are amplified by the whole gold brace magic going on. Eventually the couple realizes that the society they're in kinda sucks (or is it just the girl that compels her supposed master to leave with her?) and they run away together.
I've been trying sooo hard to figure out what story this is but to no avail, so I'd be extremely grateful to anyone who could identify it for me.
