First ABLAZE brought you the surreal, bewitching tale of Maria Llovet's Eros/Psyche...now comes Porcelain.
As the occupants of The Dollhouse overwhelm them, Axel struggles to protect Beryl, but they are quickly separated. Now alone, Beryl is forced by Valentina to confront parts of her own psyche that she is not ready to deal with. Will she come out the other end stronger? Or that much closer to becoming a doll herself?
