“What is it you think you’re protecting in that brain of yours? The war is over. Holdfast is dead. The Eternal Flame extinguished. There’s no one left for you to save.”
Once a brilliant alchemist, Helena Marino is now a prisoner—trapped by both a brutal war and the limits of her own mind. Her Resistance allies have been ruthlessly wiped out, her unique abilities suppressed, and the world she once fought for completely shattered.
In the wake of this devastating conflict, Paladia is ruled by a corrupt new elite of powerful guild families and dark necromancers, whose terrifying undead creations secured their victory. And they are keeping Helena captive.
Official Resistance records state she was just a minor healer of no real importance. Yet, Helena suffers from an inexplicable memory loss covering the crucial months right before her capture. This gap leaves her enemies deeply suspicious: Is she genuinely the insignificant soldier she seems to be, or do her forgotten memories hold the missing piece to the Resistance’s final, desperate plot?
To extract the secrets buried deep in her mind, Helena is handed over to the High Reeve, one of the most ruthless and powerful necromancers of the new regime. Confined to his decaying estate, Helena faces a grueling new battle—to protect the history locked inside her head and hold onto what’s left of her identity. But she soon realizes her prison and her captor are hiding dark secrets of their own… secrets she must uncover, no matter the cost.
