Yara has only ever known a life of duty, protecting the people of Cel'Fiore from the Abyss, the Realm of Demons. But when alarm bells warn her of an invasion, she finds not foul demons but vicious mortals attacking her village. Fleeing the horrors of humanity, she takes refuge in an abandoned tower hidden deep in the forest.
But Yara isn't the only resident. The unnaturally beautiful statue that stood in the tower has awoken, and it now shadows her every step.
As the pair struggle to survive, a terrible secret threatens to shatter everything Yara has ever believed in. Forced to accept that saving everyone might be impossible, Yara comes to the devastating realisation that she'll have to make a choice. But to choose duty would be to cut out her own heart.
