She has a kingdom. A king. A growing family. And no memory of any of it.

Rodite is in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by unfamiliar faces. And the few who speak her language refuse to answer her questions, insisting she must rest and recover from a catastrophic accident.

But how can she rest when the castle walls and those within them are hiding just as many secrets as her damaged memory? When she doesn’t recognize the woman in her mirror? When she’s questioning reality?

Rodite can’t. And won’t.

She vows to search the castle for answers, with or without anyone’s help. She’s just not sure whose life she needs to save, or how.

Something in the castle wants her to find it. Something wants her to remember. Something is scratching at the surface, desperate and vengeful.

But who and what can you trust when you can’t even trust your own mind?

Meanwhile, a beast has been released upon the world. A beast who was once a man, ripped away from his mate. One who is ready to tear the world apart to get back to her.

Will Rodite find her answers before she crosses paths with the beast?
