Hart, C.K.- Soulless

Jezebel works for a club in Harmony, located in the outer ring of Palen, the slums, a place where you do whatever it takes to survive. She does just that, dancing for men and making sure her sister, Emerson, is well taken care of.

When Jezebel is bought and taken to Jericho by a man named B with the promise of paradise, Emerson sees no problem with it. After all, she just wants her sister Jez to be happy. And that is what Emerson thinks Jez to happy in Jericho without her. "It is a little sister's destiny to be unwanted by her older sister."

Emerson is now alone in Harmony, where she, too, must do what it takes to survive. She gains an understanding of what her sister has been through when she takes a job at the club.

When Emerson gets a pile of letters, all addressed to her and sent at the same time from her sister Jez she becomes concerned. She notices suspicious pieces missing from them.

Emerson decides that she needs to make it to Jericho as well to save her sister. She takes one last job at the club to sit for the men from Jericho who purchase women.

Things go terribly wrong, and it seems she will never make it to Jericho, with her sister's words in her head telling her that men like to be past their flesh, past their eyes, to their soul. So that is what she searches for in every person who comes her way. Until finally, she meets someone who does, in fact, have a soul, or so she thinks.

Before she can truly find what she is looking for, past flesh and blood to the deepest part, she runs into a past lover who fights for her affection.

So, an old flame or a new savior?
