Sub Rosa's reluctant heroine is known as Little', a teenage runaway unable to remember her real name in a dark, post-feminist vision that isn't for the faint of heart. In her struggles to get by in the world, she stumbles upon an underground society of ghosts and magicians, missing girls and 'would-be Johns' - a place called Sub Rosa. Little is called upon to lead Sub Rosa through a maze of feral darkness, both real and imagined - a calling burdened with grotesque enemies, strange allies and memories from a foggy past.'
