. . . when a young girl is orphaned, a caring welfare organization--often working as part of or in close coordination with the government--insures her well-being. Unfortunately, this is NOT the case in many lesser so-called nations, such as the one where THE RED LILY faces her Fate Worse than Death. One of the many regions under the sway of a notorious sex cult whose leaders (numbering in the thousands) have been fingered in Real Life as the Prime Suspect Perverts preying upon gullible male and female victims of all ages (numbering in the millions!), RED LILY "Marise" is only 14 and never been flicked at the time of her bereavement. The top local official immediately labels Marise as a "shameless pauper," and evicts her from her hometown (in keeping with the teachings of his Cult). She is dragged off to the godless city featuring the World's most famous "Cathedral," where young orphan girls are forced to become hookers or starve to death--especially if they possess "the face of an angel" like Marise. THE RED LILY exposes the putrid underbelly of a rancid society overrun by holier-than-thou hypocrites and demons in human form. When losing wars is a nationality's only claim to fame, it's not surprising to see them exposed as shameless warehouse proprietors to boot!
