"When I was born I was so small I was mistaken for a french fry. I was never an ordinary child. My best friend was a seagull. I was also illegal. Artificially intelligent people like me had been banned ever since that thing with the Twelve Elevens. Mother raised me for profit. Buyers and sellers had other plans for me, but then I grew a mind of my own. This is the story of how my brain ended up inside this box." Candles is a black-market, "artificially intelligent person" (or A.I.P., or "ape" in the colloquial sense, as in 'the planet of the'), an organic being, farm-raised on genetically engineered smoothies and destined for auction to the highest bidding criminal enterprise. Gifted with the ability to communicate with foul-mouthed seagulls and ill-tempered felines, this gender-less, age-less, race-less creature has to find its way to escape from the clutches of its mother and other assorted enemies, in this fairly exciting and ultimately utterly unexpected story.

At sea, where the waves rise up and slam against the sharp cliffs, clawing at them to bring them to the briny depths, there's a law. A superstition, if you will, that women on ships bring bad luck. If any woman is found onboard, they are to have their legs tied and weighted, and they are to be thrown into the water to drown. But these women don't drown. They fight, and they struggle as they're dragged to the bottom of the water, and they learn to breathe. The women beckon. The men are sure to follow.

On waking up to find a dismembered arm protruding from the floor, Claudia knows her privileged life is over. Claudia cannot recall how she came to this pass. She does know she is never getting out. It is all because she is guilty of falling in love, which is a sin no proper Victorian girl would commit. She knew when she took up with a man who was not her betrothed, she wouldn't have a happy end. She expected traditional marital boredom would be her punishment not starving to death in dank tunnels or being eaten by rats. Cast aside into an impossible hell with only an insane angel-woman for company, Claudia can barely remember the sins that earned her a seat in torment. Regardless of her fault in the matter, she will have to face terrors she never dreamed if she is to escape her prison. * Thank you all for reading. You are amazing! * This is a Wattpad exclusive book
