Did You See... Penance An Imp World Novel Debra Dunbar Uriel has awoken into a nightmare, unable to remember who or what she is. She and eight other women are captives of human traffickers, to be prettied-up and sold to the highest bid- der. Besides the guards, there’s a woman, a de- mon, who is supposed to make each of them gorgeous, and provide a sexually charged at- mosphere at the auction. They’ve got five days to escape. Five days for Uriel to save these women— and five days for her to save the demon she’s beginning to think is just as much of a captive as they are. Because saving them all is the only way she can atone for…something‑ atone, and win forgiveness for a past she can’t remember.
