It is within man's nature to mistake lust for love. All that Alice once knew was taken from her. And in the moment her new life started to blossom, it was taken away too. Now, all that she knows in vengeance. In the gothic capital of Candere, where gaslights illuminate the filthy streets and hides sins within its shadows, she wields the lost powers of witchcraft and demonology, lusting for the destruction of the mechanisms that have caused her so much pain. This is, above all, a story about desire.
