A Memory of War and Solace

On every path, there comes a crossroads...

In Reft, Arin learned that their magical abilities are rooted in their own pain and trauma. Since leaving, they have struggled against the chains of their past to make something of their future.

When a face out of memory returns to challenge the delicate peace Arin has found in their life, they must journey deep into a land rife with prejudice and torn by war. Along the way, they’ll need to find the strength to make new allies and to transform themself into a healer, a warrior, and a champion.

But the threads of the past run deeper than Arin can imagine, and their ties to a new rising power will lead them to a terrible choice: To embrace their nature as a witch and outcast, or to help reshape reality itself-and in doing so, erase their own destiny.

When the enemy is not an evil to be battled with sword and sorcery but resides in the seeds of fear and malice that may yet take root in every heart, it is within those allies and would-be heroes that it must be fought and conquered.
