Every master was once a student every woman was once a child

What makes a person forget their entire identity? What makes them become someone else? What makes them desire pain control and ultimately pleasure? Its not anything that happens overnight, over even in a few weeks. Tragedy beyond what a human can possibly imagine will forever alter Marys future.

Marys life is boring, conservative and typical. She wants adventure, thrills and so much more. But she will soon learn to be careful what to wish for when shes taken against her will and thrust into the twisted world of a powerful man who doesnt care if she lives or dies.

When Mary starts becoming Elena, she does find a savior, but is he truly the person who will protect her, or will he be the one to escort her straight into the pits of hell?

Forgetting who she is or where she belongs, she learns she can trust no one, rely on only herself, and fall further than she ever thought possible. She will become someone else and the cycle will begin. She will become the person who will eventually change the life of so many others. Some might say the change is good, the violence is necessary. And some will cry for this tragedy that should have been stopped.

Just when you think you know how it all came about, how it will end, you will be floored again by who can be trusted and who cant.

Note from the author:

This book isnt anything like what Ive written before. I had a dream, the opening scene of this book, actually. And I woke up and lay there for a while, and still couldnt push it away, so I got up, wrote the first chapter. Then I lay back down and was back out of bed within fifteen minutes, where I gave up on sleep and sat at my computer all night and all the next day until my eyes wouldnt stay open anymore. Then for the next week, all I did was eat and sleep (minimally) and the first draft was born. I was so emotionally drained from it, I put it away for a month, and then came back to it and went back into the world of Elena.

My question was, what makes someone enter into a lifestyle of BDSM? What makes them enjoy pain? Enjoy being degraded? Then I realized, its not a matter of enjoyment necessarily. Its a matter of your world spinning out of control. And this is a way to ground yourself. Elena has become so special to me. The first book is tragic and I cried several times while writing it. The second book, she starts to find herself, and in the third book well, the third book leaves your mouth hanging open. I hope you enjoy this journey with me. Its been an emotional one.
