Cover Description:
In 19th century Western Europe, a secret political group controlled high- ranking politicians by using highly trained prostitutes. The group disbanded after the ringleaders were arrested and Foster, the trainer of the prostitutes, wallowed in his misfortune. Now, years later, Foster receives an invitation from the railroad tycoon Dred to train young women to become high-class prostitutes once again.
One day at his favorite pub, Foster sees the voluptuous Isha playing cards with several gentlemen. It is lust at first sight for both Foster and Isha, and that night they let their passions ignite. The next day, Isha follows Foster back to the mansion and senses an unusual atmosphere there, and now, Isha becomes drawn into the world of discipline and bondage!
Skysenshi’s Note: The series is composed of 4 episodes namely (1) Maiden of Desire, (2) Maiden of Decadence, (3) Maiden of Deception, (4) Maiden of Destruction. Each tells a story about the prostitutes serving the house of Foster, how they lived, how they ended up there, up to the time that they started getting used to their lives as sex slaves.
I’m just going to combine my commentaries for all four parts because, as with the case of the Heat Series, I had only one reaction to all of them. Each episode shows somebody new who I should be feeling sorry for. It started with Cleya in Maiden of Desire and by the time I got to watch the girl with eyeglasses, I got numb enough to not mind going through the last chapter. What bothers me most is that all of these women feel some sort of a twisted sense of love for Foster!
Foster is definitely not your regular mega twisted pimp who “trains” his little charges in the ways of rough lovemaking. There are times when he would actually be gentle, especially when one of these women start getting sick because of the depravity of what they had to do everyday. Many have also said that he loves his “pets” in some perverted way, and shows it through being mean. There are times when he professes to have been reformed and yet there’d be one strange reason after another for him to go back to peddling flesh. He’s a complex man, isn’t he? Well, he’s one man I can only hope not to run into.
The title of the episodes also boggle the mind. The women are definitely not maidens! Maids-by-day-hooker-by-night maybe. Whatever shred of virginity these girls have, they either lost it already or painfully lose it at some point of an episode.

I started with Maiden Of Deception. At first, I really didn’t feel like watching it. The overall feel reminded me of a history lesson or one of those British TV shows that used to air 10 years ago… ack. So I gave it to my friend! And she wanted to see what happens next. Ha! So next thing I know a bunch of us are watching the Maiden Series. And you know what?? It’s quite good! It’s actually very good. There’s a plot, there’s great H scenes, and visually it’s a joy to look at!
It’s easy to predict what kind of scenes your getting with this one. It won’t be romantic expressions of love on the beach, but it’s not cool devices either.
I rarely look at H thinking if it’s decent morally. It’s not reality, it’s fantasy. And though there are limits, I don’t think the maiden series crosses them. Let’s face it - A house where maids live for the sexual pleasure of guests?? I’m pretty sure that’s a popular fantasy! And this series turns the old fantasy into a great series of movies. So, in conclusion - I would recommend this title. Keep an eye out for a creative use of a candle though.
