Summary
London, 1794.
Nicole is nine when she first crosses the path of the man they call the Shadow. What begins as a child’s attempt to help her family becomes a lifelong flight from a curse… until the hunted grows teeth, and the girl destined for white magic learns what vengeance truly costs.Purgatory, 1816.
Far from home, in a land where faith twists into fanaticism and survival is the only law, Nicole discovers that power, love, and loyalty are never what they seem. Some fight with weapons, some with wit, some with indifference. But even in exile, the past burns bright — and the Shadow is never far behind.A story of magic and misery, escape and pursuit, enemies and uneasy allies, where a child marked by prophecy becomes a woman forged by fire.
