Slave Lady — Julia Fitzgerald

Drawn to Liverpool in the hope of recovering their inheritance, newlyweds Cassia and Vincent de Sauvage find horrifying squalor and depravity. On the quayside, slaves are herded like animals. In the cities, child brothels spawn.

Driven by the memories of her own tainted past, Cassia determines to fight the cruelty, the corruption, until one night she sees the face of the profligate tyrant who rules the brothels...a face which suddenly appears strangely, terrifyingly familiar.
