No name. No past. Only a light to guide her and key she cannot escape.
She wakes beside a river amid a raging storm, her memory wiped clean. Out of the dark drifts a peculiar orb of light - conscious, curious, waiting. It hovers over her palm, where a mysterious key-shaped mark is burned into her skin that she feels doesn't belong. Uneasy but alive, she takes the name Gem, knowing nothing of her origin.
When a ruthless cult threatens a nearby village, a familiar magic erupts through her veins, saving lives but illuminating a threat that's impossible to ignore. With Diamond, the orb that never leaves her side, and Nyla, a sharp-witted magic-born bound by her own grief, Gem journeys north through a realm fractured by war, seeking answers and purpose.
But the mark on her hand never relents. Even as her skills sharpen, it pulls her toward a darkness she isn't ready to face.
The truth is waiting for her. And it knows her real name.
