WHAT ARE YOU GUARDING IN YOUR MIND? THE WAR IS OVER. HOLDFAST IS DEAD. THE ETERNAL FLAME HAS GONE OUT. THERE IS NO ONE LEFT FOR YOU TO PROTECT. Helena Marino, once a highly promising alchemist, has become a prisoner – of war and of her own mind. Her abilities have been suppressed, her comrades in the resistance brutally slaughtered, and the entire world she knew reduced to ashes. After a long war, power lies with corrupt guilds and depraved necromancers who triumphed only thanks to their undead servants, and who are now holding Helena captive. According to resistance records, she was an insignificant healer, yet the gap in her memory covering many months seems suspicious. Is she truly of no importance, or has some crucial element of the rebels' plan been erased from her memory? In an attempt to uncover her deeply buried past, Helena is sent to the High Reeve – one of the most powerful and most ruthless necromancers in this new world. Held captive in his crumbling estate, she begins a fight to recover her lost memories and preserve the fragments of who she once was. Both her prison and its master hide secrets of their own, which Helena must bring to light at any cost.
