Once upon a time, Annabella Shepherd murders someone and regrets it, which is odd, considering she’s a vampire.
Instead of giving into the temptation of human blood for the rest of her life, she starts looking for a purpose. She’s been given an eternal life: what can she do with it? Within two centuries, Annabella becomes a war hero, founds a beauty company, and settles on the western side of the United States, content with her choices.
Then, she learns about the demon.
In a strange twist of fate, Annabella finds herself the heroine of someone else’s fairy tale, inadvertently learning that her story is not the only one being told. She watches as her daughters, Blaire and Moira, navigate their own magical subplots, leaving her to complete her own narrative as they encounter orcs, dragons, witches, and more.
Once Upon a Brothel, this fantastical, split narrative, takes the reader through alternating perspectives, introducing the existence of multiple worlds and fairy tale creatures, all the while conveying a heart-wrenching message that’s sure to bring readers to tears.
