He wakes with fire in his veins, and at first, that pain is all he knows. He is born of obsession, magic, and the storm raging above his creator's laboratory.
They tell him that his name is Davidson, or Davy Dearest, the beloved of the doctor who brought him back to life.
He cannot speak when he wakes, but the doctor doesn't seem to mind. Perhaps because it keeps him from saying that he doesn't remember a life before waking up. Keeps him from saying that he doesn't feel anything but fear for the doctor. But the doctor's assistant, Gio, seems to understand. He's always there to help, to reteach the things Davidson has forgotten with patience and kindness.
But if he really is Davy, love of the doctor's life, then why is he drawn more and more to the kind, quiet Gio? As clues from Davy Dearest's life start to pile up, the picture they paint is more grim than he could have imagined, and it sets Davidson and Gio on a dangerous path to freedom and redemption.
