Elpis has spent five years under a life sentence in the Tower outside Ursae, banished across the Northern Flatlands after she was accused of murdering her sister. Abuse and mind-numbing isolation have left her broken.
An anonymous gift then reaches her and changes her fate.
A malevolent goddess haunts her nightmares, and shadows begin rising within her.
To reclaim her freedom she must uncover an ancient prophecy and bring those shadows under control.
Enemies surround her, so the allies she trusts may decide what that freedom costs.
