So I am looking for a story that has a character that had their whole life destroyed through possibly their whole tribe, town, village, family, etc being killed/destroyed/captured. It is a must that the character is taken captive and possibly sold, used, gotten rid of, thought dead, set free, escape, or almost killed.
- It'd be a plus if the person taken captive was of a high standing such as royalty, a highly regarded scholar, a village leader, or any other "indispensable" people.
- I'd also like it if the person was considered harmful, a curse, or just plain despised by his own people.
- It'd be sad if the person taken captive was killed or died but as long as the person was seen enough times to leave a reaction on the readers then it's okay with me.
- It'd love it if it was fantasy but this is not a must for me.
Some examples that I can think of at the moment include:
Red River -

Urhi was a member of the royal family in his nation but then it was destroyed and he was taken captive and later purchased to serve in the seraglio temple.
Fushigi Yuugi -
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Nakago was a member of a tribe that was destroyed by Kutou/Qu-Dong and he was taken captive by them.
Genre doesn't matter to me since I read a lot of different genres. I'd be happy to take any recommendations regardless of what genre or categories are included as long as it has something to do with what I've described above.
Sorry for asking for so much and thanks!
