Description
“The war is over. What do you think you’re protecting in your brain? Holdfast is dead. The Eternal Flame has been extinguished. There’s no one left for you to save…” Helena Marino was a promising alchemist. Now, she’s nothing more than a prisoner, held captive by the war that ravaged Paladia and by her own failing memory. Her friends and allies in the resistance have been slaughtered, her powers neutralized, and the world she knew is nothing but a field of ruins. In the aftermath of the war, Paladia has fallen under the control of corrupt guilds and depraved necromancers, whose undead creatures have ensured their triumph. Helena is now in their hands. Officially, she was just an insignificant healer. Yet, the months leading up to her capture have been erased from her memory, and this gap in her past is intriguing. Is she truly as insignificant as they claim, or does she unknowingly hold the key to the resistance's last hope? To uncover the truth, she is entrusted to the High Prefect, one of the new regime's most feared necromancers. Confined to his estate, Helena must fight to preserve the fragments of her identity and rekindle the memory of who she once was. But her captor, like the place itself, conceals far darker secrets... secrets that Helena must uncover, whatever the cost.
