Summary

 * Blurb
 * ''PRIDE. GREED. ENVY. WRATH. LUST. GLUTTONY. SLOTH.


 * The Seven Deadly Sins delineate the path to a person's downfall, the surest way to achieve eternal damnation. But there is a way out, a way to reclaim salvation: blame it on the demons–taunting you, daring you to embrace these sins–and you shall be free. The painful truth is that these impulses live inside all of us, inside all sentient beings. But alas, one person's sin may be another being's virtue.
