About once a week, Adam voluntarily cut willow or other flexible whips, trimmed them, and presented them to his wife. He cooperated with Salle May to tie him to a log or tree or other object of her choice. Salle May then whipped her husband with the whips he made. This was no “Gee whiz, did that hurt?” kind of whipping. Instead, it was vicious. It left sharp marks, yanked spontaneous screams and howls from her husband, and sometimes cut into the skin. Adam thoroughly cherished the whippings his wife gave him.

That's how the series started.

One day, Adam and Salle May were in the middle of an intense whipping session when Adam was killed. He was shot by his two oldest siblings, the twins.

Although she hadn't actually loved her husband, he had been her best friend on this Appalachian mountain. (Salle May had skedaddled from her home mountain, where she had years of occasionally torturing a person to death in the wilderness.)

Salle May gave the twins a head start, after which she would track them and kill them. They knew she meant it and tried to escape. Salle May was pleased. She enjoyed trailing soon-to-be victims.

Another sibling of Adam’s had reasons to wish harm to the twins. She took off after Salle May, intending to team up with her if Salle May allowed it.

Three young men accosted Reign before she found Salle May. But Salle May saw it happen. The young men became the first for the Salle May and Reign team.

The torturing reveals Reign’s proclivity to torture. It is as present and as much an addiction as is Salle May’s proclivity.

The two become self-declared sisters. Overnighting under the same blankets was natural.

After the three young men had been cut and burned and skinned to death, the new sisters resumed their chase of the twins.

The twins received even harsher treatment.

Come to find out, there was a person on Salle May's home mountain who had watched Salle May in the wilderness. The woman, Lace Hunter, experienced explosive erotic satisfactions when watching the tortures.

When Salle May left the mountain, Lace Hunter no longer had those scenes to stimulate her eroticism. She began to imagine her family being tortured. Those imaginations gave her the erotic satisfactions she wanted. Until they no longer did.

When her imagination started failing to give her satisfactions, Lace Hunter caused Salle May to be targeted with a lifetime revenge hunt for a remarkable award. This gave Lace her reason for involving her family in a Salle May hunt.

Lace, the only competent woodsperson, arranged for her entire family to be caught attacking Salle May. Lace figured Salle May would take offense and torture each of them long and hard until their life force was totally used up.

It worked. Lace Hunter was in position to watch her family be tortured to death. She would experience many, many explosive erotic satisfactions.

Except that Salle May learned of the revenge hunt. She would be hunted for the rest of her life. There was nothing she could do about that.

Lace and family would be tortured as planned, decided Salle May. She got a small measure of revenge for that revenge hunt by torturing Lace to death before the last of her family, thus preventing Lace from experiencing those satisfactions.

During the series, you'll read about folks who want that reward and instead find themselves being tortured, slowly and agonizingly, until they die.

Reign has special needs. Reign has an intense inner need for herself to be tortured from time to time. Salle May provides that for her in every volume of the series.

Reign also made a pact with Salle May that Salle May would, at Salle May's preferred timing, torture Reign to her death. Reign wants the most atrocious torture Salle May can deliver, extended as many days as Salle May can stretch it. (That is likely to be described scream by scream in the last volume of the series.)
