Robert Porter provided for her, watched over her and remained almost entirely absent from her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen he dies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEle inherits his secluded ancestral estate, a collection of unanswered questions-and an ancient gold ring set with a blood-red stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to family legend, more than seven centuries ago an ancestor named Thomas Porter trapped the Devil. In exchange for his freedom, the Devil surrendered his ring and the extraordinary power it contained.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen worn, the ring allows its bearer to uncover two things hidden inside another person: their deepest desire and the sins they would do anything to conceal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Ele, it offers something irresistible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt first, the ring seems capable of doing genuine good.
