About the Book

< cite index="18-1">Once a promising alchemist, Helena Marino is now a prisoner — of war and of her own mind. Her Resistance friends and allies have been brutally murdered, her abilities suppressed, and the world she knew destroyed.</cite> < cite index="16-1">In the aftermath of a long war, Paladia's new ruling class — made up of corrupt guild families and necromancers — holds Helena captive, and according to Resistance records, she was just a healer of little importance, though the blank spaces in her memory suggest otherwise.</cite>

< cite index="15-1">Helena wakes up in captivity unable to recall her past, held under the watchful, cruel gaze of Kaine Ferron. Sent to Spirefell, she is kept under the eyes of Kaine and his jealous wife Aurelia, subjected to torturous sessions in which Kaine tries to unearth her buried recollections — yet no matter how hard he tries, he can't find what he's looking for, while Helena works quietly to piece together her own past.</cite>

< cite index="12-1">Months after the end of the war, Helena is discovered in a warehouse among hundreds of other female combatants captured in the final battle, and the ruling power — needing more alchemists and more control — begins using the captured women toward that end.</cite> < cite index="12-1">Helena is horrified to realize she already knows the soldier she's given to: Kaine Ferron, who has spent his time since the war hunting down remaining members of the Resistance and killing them rather than letting them be taken as slaves — an operation that, in truth, has been a cover for his search for her.</cite>

< cite index="19-1">At its core, the novel is built on a question of who gets to write history and what that authorship erases — Helena's story as healer, spy, bomber, and lover is reduced, in the official record, to a single photo caption.</cite> < cite index="16-1">Every character is marked by trauma, sacrifice, and loss, and the prose is immersive and devastatingly vivid.</cite>

Please note: This is a dark fantasy with extensive trigger warnings for graphic violence, war trauma, and other intense mature content. Intended for adult readers.
