Ever since Edward met the stunning woman in red in Part 1: The Acolyte, he had been having strange dreams about her. Dreams where she trampled a mountain of men, of sharp teeth and rivers of blood...she terrified him, yet he craved her like he had never craved a woman before. So he continued to follow her every demand, to let her mold him as she willed.

As she led him through a garden of experiences that he never could have imagined, his very identity begins to dissolve. Yet he yearned for the one thing she still denied him, and would do anything to earn passage through her final Gate. Day by day he fantasizes about mastering her as she has mastered him. But is her price one he is willing to pay?
