It has been almost twenty years since the royal family of the Altus Empire was overthrown. Liora never knew a time when the Corvus family was in power. All she knows is scrubbing down the rooms of the pleasure house where she and her twin brother live as slaves.
But when Liora discovers an abandoned trinket in one of the rooms, her investigation of it spirals into a horrifying nightmare as an epidemic of madness suddenly besets the city.

Forced to ally with old enemies and unexpected strangers, Liora must fight to survive and learn the truth about what happened nearly two decades ago.
