Deerskin

Princess Lissla Lissar, the overlooked daughter of a king and his exceptionally beautiful queen, finds her life shattered after her mother's death. The queen's dying wish, that her husband only remarry someone as beautiful as she, takes a sinister turn when the grief-stricken king, seeing his late wife's image reflected in his now-grown daughter, announces his intention to marry Lissar. Devastated and physically brutalized by her father's monstrous desire, Lissar flees into the harsh wilderness with only her loyal sighthound, Ash, by her side. This desperate escape marks the beginning of a profound and arduous journey toward survival. Stripped of her identity, grappling with unspeakable trauma, and battling the elements, Lissar must confront the depths of her pain. Her path leads her through isolation and despair, slowly, painfully, toward unexpected encounters and the possibility of healing, trust, and a new life far removed from the treachery of her past.
