Twelve-year-old Alice lives on the island of Stellame.
There are pink satin dresses, elegant afternoon tea, and the loving owner of Jeffrey Island.
The girls are taught to behave well and study hard, as patronage from guests determines the future of the island.
Alice had never doubted anything here.
It wasn't until that night in the banquet hall that she saw the truth about the main dish on the dinner plate.
A blood red butterfly tattoo.
She recognized the butterfly—it had appeared on some girl's ankle.
And that girl was just sent out of the island for "treatment" a few days ago.
What she didn't know was that all the fairy tales she thought were on this island had already been priced.
This is not a story about growing up, but a story about being eaten.
Not a metaphor.
It means literally.

Charlotte found her biological father. Alice was extremely envious.
She didn't know that when Charlotte's father first came to the island, he had a check in his hand.
"Well raised daughter, Jeffrey."
Island owner Jeffrey smiled and raised his glass: "Happy cooperation."

Amara is the only servant on the island who treats her well.
The fat black cook would secretly squeeze her hand when handing her a book, and write on the title page with burnt wood chips:
"Ron, live is land."
Alice couldn't understand. She thought it was "Ron, stay on the land."
It wasn't until the day she escaped from the island that she suddenly understood.
What Amara wants to write is——
"Run, leave island."
Run. Get off the island.
But Amara is dead.
He died the day after Alice confessed her.
