Riza Diantus is a young woman whose dreams can no longer be contained by the narrow confines of her village, and when she finds herself in peril, Kallon is the only one with the power to save her. Yet to do so means he must confront his past, and embrace a future he stopped believing in.

one raped
one murdered
one killed by fire
What got into them? What dark thoughts tormented them when they were alone at night?
