The Longview Chronicles — Holly Lisle

When the trusted are monsters... one monster becomes a hero.
In the vast reaches of Settled Space, everything is legal, or at least obtainable privately... for a price.

Science has created near immortality, and the wealthy and powerful are buying it to make themselves gods. But these gods require -- and create -- an endless procession of slaves and sacrifices for their amusement.

Until one twisted creature born to be a sacrifice discovers the truth. This escaped slave declares a secret war against corruption, the ownership of other humans, and the wealthy, powerful men and women who have declared themselves gods, and made their whims law.
