While some fear the dark and others may cower of its shadows, Isla Jane Grimes fears the worst of them all: fear itself. The delighted daughter of a city's king and the beloved obsession of a handsome sociopath, Isla exists as a victim. To her father, to her obsessor, to the voices in her head and to the monsters in her mind. Her world is a mess of lovely locked up darlings and wretched, filthy work until she must make a choice. A choice to be brave. A choice to be vulnerable. A choice to valuable. A choice to forgive.
