"This must be dying."

Cheating death on a riverbank is the beginning of an epic adventure for a teenage girl called Neven. No memory of where she came from or her identity.

She's fished out of a river to be surrendered into slavery to an underground mining city called The Zone. As pieces of her memory surface, strange events happen. She begins to believe that her amnesia is intentional. Especially, when she finds herself on death-row for using magic and becomes involved in a diabolical scheme for power by four master magis.

Her determination to seek the truth, unravels troubles and impacts to her surroundings. Lingering in her shadow is an evil wanting release.
