Description
Madame Calixta, the owner of the Shining Star Salon, a brothel in the Kingdom of Alhambra, an exquisitely trained exotic prostitute, but vain and arrogant businesswoman, was never destined to lead the life of an Exotic prostitute. She is an enslaved woman that lives in a kingdom with socially institutionalized and taxed prostitution. Her Trade tattoo marked her, and life singed her. Calixta protected her pregnant best friend and was murdered for her actions. On the street of the port city of Talbert, she laid, but at the gates of heaven at The Box-Exchange Train Station, she found her true self. There, The Virtues must bend the rules, cheat a little, and love a lot. So, they sent Calixta back to Alhambra, with some blessings. A prostitute was to be the third Vanquisher of Evil?
Dreyden was the first Vanquisher. For years he fought alone, but the Evil Jadro appeared in Alhambra. The man had turned to darkness one Kingdome, Alhambra was next. Dreyden had heard a message, "Go to Talbert." But he found a lustful beauty. A woman that was the evil of society and that stir his blood. She can't be the Third Vanquisher!
In a world where your trade is everything, and it defines your destiny, Calixta finds she has options. But at the same time, society, man, and evil itself are trying to destroy her. In the midst of all, will she learn to fight back? Will Calixta finds her freedom and that of her friends? Will she accept the free things in life? Will she learn that love does exist?
