This is a story that begins in quite an ordinary way - but as the plot develops some of the characters are revealed to be more than they seem, and as time passes, the plot, as they say, 'thickens', and various strange, and some would consider unsavory elements and themes emerge.

So what is this ?
Historical Fiction, Science Fiction, a Fantasy, Erotic Fiction, an Adult Fairy Tale....
Or something truly unique ?
THIS IS
no more - and no less
Regardless - be warned, this tale turns out, eventually, to be a decidedly 'adult' story
