Prologue

Dr. Hartley Quinzel has had a tough life, an abusive father, a troubled past, and a lost friend. He's a recent college graduate and a struggling psychiatrist who has taken a job at Arkham Asylum to restore a friendship that he'd been responsible for destroying. His world is flipped upside down when he is drawn to an incurable stranger, and wonders if he could be the one that brings him to the light. However, this patient is not just any man, he is a master manipulator, willing to do whatever it takes to meet his goals. Will Dr. Quinzel be able to help this patient manage his dark intentions? Or will the patient finally push the already fragile doctor over the edge?
