Before the legend, before the pits, before the prison in the cliff, the Butcher of Graywall was a twelve-year-old under a bridge with four strikes beside her name.
Abbee Danner can't fight, can't swim, can't pick a pocket clean, and has no magic at an age when magic stops coming. What she has is Akken, a city about to come apart. The night the Tower burns, at the bottom of a pit built for far stronger people, Abbee's gift finally arrives. It's impossible. It's backward. Healers heal others, never themselves. Abbee can heal no one but herself, and she feels every second of it.
A one-armed stranger pulls her from the ruins and says: Let us begin. What follows spans nineteen years: a brutal apprenticeship, a betrayal with a friendly face, a prison dug into a cliff that only movers can reach, and a name Abbee never chose. The continent will learn to say it carefully.
She jokes where other people flinch. She has her reasons.
For readers of Mark Lawrence and Patrick Rothfuss: a dark, immersive world, a new heroine, and an origin story with teeth. New readers can start the Chronicles here, then go back for the beginning.
