Coveted for her ethereal beauty, Isla Jane Grimes learned early in life what it meant to weaponize her body and wield it at will. At whose will, however? That was a different matter entirely.
Soon trapped inside a tucked-away mansion where fantasy is promised to any who pays to visit, Isla suffers as a plaything alongside the rest of the Darlings of the house - the beguiling prostitutes.
Imprisoned in more ways than one, Isla endeavors to escape the devils of the flesh and the monsters in her mind, endlessly battling the choice of one evil over another. But choices have consequences.
As Isla travels a turbulent journey through dread, death, and shame, she likewise encounters the gift of mercy and the redemption of grace. Welcomed by acquaintances who should hate her, Isla falls into a different kind of fantasy - one of simplicity and acceptance - and as she continues to battle the monsters that follow, she is also given a choice to conquer the devils that beckon in the distance. Death and destruction loom ahead... but whose?
