Ella, the heroine, enters the world in an attempt to save Norma, the President's daughter. When she first enters, she believes the world to be made-up...something that could never take place. However, the longer she remains in the World, she begins to understand just what is going on and the ease at which the barriers between the real and fictitious worlds shift and blur. The author will convince the reader that they are immersed in a World where violence is a rule, not the exception. There is constant action as soon as Ella, and the reader, enter the Demi-Monde. The reader will find themselves rooting for the heroine as she navigates a literal Hell.

Ella's character is brave and strong. She represents one of the only good characters in the Demi-Monde and the reader will find themselves attached to Ella within the first few chapters. The other characters, particularly the historical ones, are richly portrayed. The environment and action taking place are described in great detail, leaving nothing to the readers' imagination. The World is a place that is easy to sink into and forget about the real world, but there is always an undertone of suspense and mystery that will keep the reader on their toes. The real world and the "what- could-be" world within THE DEMI-MONDE:WINTER are not so different from each other. The reader and Ella must be careful to watch their step.
