At the age of seven, a nameless, orphaned girl awakens to an altered existence, under the care of new guardians who bestow upon her a mystical name, Azriel Esthera. Her past is a blank slate, with only the faint echoes of a man’s soft voice offering clues to her obscured history. She initially finds solace in this sanctuary, but soon, her guardians’ avarice casts a dark shadow, culminating in Azriel’s sale into a life of slavery and misery as a noble family’s scapegoat.
By the time Azriel turns sixteen, her spirit is nearly extinguished, her hopes for rescue faded, and thoughts of fleeing her cruel fate grow more insistent. As her world constricts around her, the recurring presence of Rhema Reshith, a pale-faced wizard, brings a sliver of light to her darkness. With each of their encounters, Azriel is left pondering – who is this mysterious figure who steps from the shadows to aid her, and could he possibly hold the key to a life she’s only dared to envision?
