It follows a 200-year-old vampire trapped in the body of a 12-year-old boy who enters into a dangerous agreement with the enigmatic shopkeeper of Gideon's—a place where souls are traded, desires are currency, and evil can be shaped. The cover, also by O'Barr, captures the story’s eerie, otherworldly tone with its stark, detailed imagery.

What begins as a desperate plea to escape his cursed form soon unravels into something far more dangerous, as the boundaries between want and consequence blur.
