Without each other to lean on and live for a bleak future has become bleaker still. But Nikolais too good to let his slaves slip through his fingersby death or by despair.A noose a nighttime sky a shared lover an unexpected friend. A foreboding forest cabin. A lavish party with all the debauchery Nikolais clientele could want. Its all coming in season 3 of the Flesh Cartel.
