Once, the people of the goddess lived in quiet harmony with magic throughout the continent. Then invaders crossed the mountains and seas to lay claim to their lands. A few archaic ruins are all that remains of their once thriving culture.
But the Order of the Temple of the Moon Goddess has kept a precious secret hidden for millennia...

With the assassin once again closing in, Yve has no idea who to trust. But Mad is always there with a shoulder to lean on.
And asking questions about things she can never reveal.
