Synopsis

Resistance records describe Helena as a healer of little importance, yet her unexplained memory loss raises a dangerous question: is she truly insignificant, or do her missing memories conceal the Resistance’s final secret? In search of answers, she is delivered into the hands of the High Reeve, Paladia’s most feared and merciless necromancer.

Trapped on his crumbling estate, Helena must protect what remains of herself while unearthing secrets buried in her mind, her prison and her captor, whatever the cost.
