Alone in a dark hole surrounded by nothingness, under a collapsed coal mine in the ground’s depth, Jasmine has lost all hope, and has abandoned her desire for life itself. Injured, lonely, and surrounded by cannibals…
It's where the industrial revolution and the Victorian era collide, it’s the coal era. Where the value of a human is measured by how much he produces, which makes children the least valuable of all by the same measure.
Jasmine’s world has always been cruel and scary. And it is, in these moments, even more cruel and scary than it has ever been before. But there's a secret, strong enough to find its way to her even though she has lost all hope. A secret that reached her even though she had given up. A secret that kept her alive even though she wished for death. So, what is it? And how did a worker in a coal mine become a Queen?
