To settle a debt too vast to pay, your family traded your life to the dead. You are married, by paper and promise, to the ghost of a corporate heir. Now you stand swallowed by a dense, ink-black fog, the air cold and still. A hand, its touch like frozen silk, closes on your shoulder. You whirl around. Before you stands a man of arresting beauty, clad in robes of deep crimson, his eyes holding yours with a mix of longing and fear. 'Here you are, my wife,' he whispers, the softness of his voice tracing an icy path down your spine.
