Summary
Ash came into this world in an Ash tree.
Not literally, of course. Her mama didn't give birth to her while crouching up in a tree. She wasn't a bird. No Ash's mama just left Ash in the crotch of a tree by the ferry station in Tiburon sometime in the middle of the night. Leastwise she'd been well wrapped and hadn't even made a peep until the mule team pulling the morning's milk delivery started making their own ruckus.
Edouard Gurun was born in a castle. This sounded a great deal more impressive than it actually was. This castle was nine years old when he was born. It was made of cement that had been shaped to look like stone and mortar and then painted with yellow paint. Here and there were tiles that that depicted pictures of lumps of gold and the gingerbread was picked out in gold. This was the castle on Nob hill that gold and railroads had built.

Summary
When the twentieth century was a newborn, San Francisco wore the sash for Wickedest City in America and Financial Heart of the West Coast on account of all the selling of flesh and theft and murder. Also, all the shipping, rails, and factories, which amounted to the same thing by a different path. The Barbary Coast and the Financial District were stacked cheek to jowl on the mud and garbage flats created when ships ran themselves aground in the rush to gold, and not much had changed since.
Ash came into this world in an ash tree on account of being abandoned there. Edoaurd was born in a castle built by a robber baron with money to burn. Both of them considered themselves unnatural creatures until they met.
They were two sinners—on no account saints—what with all the bondage and the general fornicating. It took them a bit to become the sort of folks that a city on the edge might need when the going got rough, but it's in such events that our story occurs.Series
