Notorious 33-year-old memory-eater, Aetalia Farsythian, only cares about keeping the orphans that she’s adopted safe and not succumbing to the pain of the thousands of memories that she’s stolen over the years. Now, in a society where magic is essential to survival, scarce, and carefully controlled by the Fae, war is looming against a mysterious Ruler in the North, when one of her magically gifted children is forced into the service of their King.
Aetalia would do anything to keep her child from war, including taking her place. But when an unknown Fae offers her another choice in a dream, she accepts. Now she must steal memories for Eriks—the mysterious King who threatens to bring war to her doorstep. There is untold beauty in the overflowing magic of his kingdom and the once-extinct creatures that roam wild. But there is also terror: monsters that eat souls and a King who weaves nightmares and lust-filled dreams.
With every interaction and memory she steals, Aetalia cannot tell whether Eriks is planning to save the world from destruction or conquer it for his own pleasure and vengeance. With her family’s safety in jeopardy, the memories in her mind torturing her, and a King who keeps asking for her trust and giving little in return, she must decide how far she is willing to go to save a world that never cared about her.
