Samar Habeen is a warrior waging two wars-one against the Nightmares that prowl the forsaken streets of Oganja, and another within the silent chambers of her own heart. Grief clings to her like a second skin as she fights to stay afloat in a city that doesn't care about her. The loss of her mother and homeland have hollowed her, leaving her yearning for the warmth of family-though what remains of hers feels fractured, distant, almost spectral. Instead, she finds a strange solace in a building housing a tomb, a monument reflecting all she's lost. And when she stops visiting, her absence awakens the sleeping soul, who sets out to find her.
