When fear itself is a beautiful thing...

I am Mina, a slave in the most elite, high protocol circles of kink. This is the life I was made for. This is where I belong. This is where I feel safe, where I find comfort in the harsh rituals of punishment and degradation I am subjected to every day-because this I can count on.

Until I am taken. Pulled out of the safety net that is kink for me, and delivered to a pair of Masters unlike any others I have come across before. And somehow, even as they torture me, pleasure me, then torture me again, my heart gets tangled with theirs...only to be subjected to a kind of pain I have never known. And I have to ask myself, how will any of us survive?
