Commodity Trading : a story of the White Slave Trade

Maria lives an idyllic childhood in her village nestled among the cherry orchards. She dreams of days as a university student and a career in public service much like her father's. Then her country falls prey to ethnic cleansing and public service takes on an ugly new meaning. Through a terrifying process of indoctrination, Maria becomes Alix, a woman whose body is inventory and whose intellect is suborned to the evil intent of her masters. This genre-bending work skillfully seduces and repels the reader, often simultaneously, as it builds to its stunning climax.
