It's basically a pig pen, except the pigs are half-starved kids and the pen is a big room with 'bodily-enhancing' misters, and the surrounding property is a black market and not a farm. The Sweat Garden. A body shop. Not the big corp, not with the clean cuts like Total Harvest Solutions. No-a crude market with crude tools and crude products. Read: products equal kid parts. Welcome to the Sweat Garden.

Trapped in the woodlands, Ivy's only hope of going home is to escape the faerie who enchants her into loving him, blinding her to what he is--monstrous. *** A dark fortress of trees twisted and crippled by time, the Clearwater, Connecticut, woods is no place for two teenage girls. The legends claim it's haunted. Fed up with being kept inside after dark, fearing the monster will take them, sixteen-year-old Ivy Farewell and her best friend Margaret set out to prove everyone wrong--that the ghost of Clearwater isn't a ghost. And the voice that has been calling to Ivy after dark is simply a trick of the wind. But the woods are deeper than Ivy imagined, each turn bringing them farther from home. When they end up lost their only hope is in each other. All seems undone when Ivy falls ill with a fever, until a stranger persuades them back to his cabin. Under his spell, Ivy falls into a deep and complicated love, a love so treacherous it blinds her to what he truly is--a monster. Copyright © 2023 T.A.

It's been quite some time and yet that tragic occurrence haunts him even today. On the outside he seems light hearted, even mischievous, he is Greed after all. But deep down we all know it's a farce. The true nature, that even knows he can't hide, is hurt, heartbroken, and melancholy. Cover credits: @marcchi_
