Lady Eirwayn craves something different for her birthday—a chance to escape the stifling monotony of noble life. Against the warnings of her cautious handmaiden, Cesika, she ventures into the bustling town square for a fleeting taste of normalcy.

But their celebration is cut short when a stranger approaches with a chilling request: to help him find salvation. What begins as an eerie encounter spirals into a night of terror when the man’s dark intentions shatter their peaceful outing.

As Eirwayn awakens in unfamiliar surroundings, Cesika fights to save her, but fate keeps them tied to their captor. Thrust into an uneasy alliance, the trio must navigate dangerous forces—both within and without—as they traverse treacherous terrain where trust is scarce and danger lurks in the shadows.
