Fourteen-year-old Breena Taljain’s dreary existence in
the slums of Purgaire comes to a sudden end when a chance encounter with a
criminal mastermind known as the Patriarch goes horridly wrong. His assault on
her for refusing to pay for her mother’s addiction leaves her comatose and
teetering on the edge of life and death.
Galbrecht Atalir is a washed-up doctor struggling to
overcome his inner demons through alcohol and aggression. He never quite
recovered from the unsolved murder of his family seven years prior. When he
discovers Breena as his newest patient, he knows at once that the Patriarch is
the one who eluded him for almost a decade.
The medicine Galbrecht gives Breena draws her into a
heavenly paradise. When it ebbs away, though, the recurring trauma plunges her
into treacherous hinterlands. There, Breena must learn to find power in
courage, hope, and love to overcome fiends of hatred bent on permanently ending
her existence.
With justice burning in his heart,
Galbrecht begins a race against time to seek out the Patriarch in the
underworld before Breena loses her struggle against the ever-darkening terrors
of her mind….
