Be careful what you crave in the shadows, for the Three Sisters grant every wish with a jagged edge. In this kingdom of ghosts and gold, the price of envy is a debt that can never be paid-only repeated.

Beneath a sky of bruised and venomous purple, where the river's relentless plink tolls the knell of a pauper's soul, dwells Jacob-a man consumed by a black fury and a simmering rage. From the threshold of a shack that seems to lurch and sway, he gazes upon the Mallory estate, those insolent constellations of wealth that glitter like cold stars to mock his misery.

Driven by a cold seed of resentment, he rows his leaky boat into the gullet of some great beast -the forbidden upper river. There, amidst the skeletal sentinels of the swamp, he invokes the Three Sisters, the hunger in the dark. They offer the gold of a hundred sunken ships, yet they speak in riddles of a seed and a harvest.

The gold is granted, ancient and deadly cold, but the harvest is a spectacle of wealth and sorrow. For as Jacob ascends to his kingdom of ghosts, his daughter's lungs fill with the silty river water of the damned, and his wife becomes a beautiful, empty shell with a mechanical smile.

Now, trapped in an eternal hell, Jacob discovers that the rope upon the banister is no mere tool, but a permanent part of the house. All sins come with a price, and in this magnificent prison, the debt is paid in a cycle that never ends.
