#1 New York Times Bestseller. Over one million copies sold. A She Reads Best Book of the Year.

In this riveting dark fantasy debut, a woman with missing memories fights to survive a war-torn world of necromancy and alchemy, and the man tasked with uncovering the deepest secrets of her past.

Once a promising alchemist, Helena Marino is now a prisoner of war and of her own mind. Her Resistance friends and allies have been murdered, her abilities have been suppressed, and the world she knew has been destroyed.

In the aftermath of a long war, Paladia’s new ruling class of corrupt guild families and depraved necromancers holds Helena captive. According to Resistance records, she was only a healer of little importance. But Helena has inexplicable memory loss from the months leading up to her capture, making her enemies question whether she is truly insignificant, or whether her lost memories are hiding a vital part of the Resistance’s final plan.

To uncover what is buried in her mind, Helena is sent to the High Reeve, one of the most powerful and ruthless necromancers in the new world. Trapped on his crumbling estate, she must fight to protect her lost history and preserve the last remaining pieces of her former self.

But her prison and her captor have secrets of their own, and Helena must uncover them, whatever the cost.
