Sold

Negan got away during the final battle with the Saviors, and, even now, two years later, Rick has not been able to let that go, still fantasizing about dealing out just retribution to his old tormentor.

One day, a slave trader approaches Rick with an unexpected offer. He has Negan, in chains and on his knees, and he’s willing to sell. And Rick is willing to buy, because this is the chance he’s dreamed of—finally being able to make Negan pay for all he’s done to Rick and those dear to him.

They say that vengeance is sweet, but, even so, Rick eventually finds himself asking whether a broken Negan is really as appealing as he imagined it would be.
