After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me.

And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

I want to devour it. Have its juices spill from my lips. And by apple, I, of course, mean sex.

I was a child when my father surrendered me to the Temple of All Gods. No one gave me a choice. No one even bothered to explain. I was simply tossed aside, unwanted.
