In the sub-tropical city of Caracole, Erik the Golden is widely known to be irresistible - and his Voice is an instrument of incredible pleasure. But the Voice is a curse as much as a blessing, for Erik once used it to steal a soul - and now he must pay. Pruella Takimori McGuire is the business manager of the Garden of Nocturnal Delights.

If Erik cannot use his power to win Prue's heart, how can he truly possess her?
