    Summary

    Beneath the halls of Hybern—amidst the endless tunnels of tortured souls—a fallen star lays trapped in darkness; smothered and forgotten. Only the shadows know her now—not by name, but by heart—they her dutiful companions in this dreamless existence. They speak of freedom—belonging—but the wards of Hybern are absolute, trapping those daring enough to tempt the King's might; and she has long since stopped trying to unravel them.

    But immortals have the benefit of time, and while she bides hers—amassing power—the scale of fate shifts in her favour; the actions of another severing the shackles which bind her.

    Who emerges from that impenetrable darkness? Who are we, when all we were has been stripped away?
    Does it matter?
    Is the past worth remembering, if it offers naught but regret?

    A retelling of A Court of Wings and Ruin, through the eyes of an original character.
