Description

For eighteen years, a woman lived as her brother's replacement, donned in his armor and serving as a knight while he lay buried in the earth. Whispered about as the palace's "mad dog" and shuffled between assignments, she finally lands a position as a ducal bodyguard. There she encounters something that changes everything: the duke she's meant to protect, who should be a year her senior, bears no mark of time's passage. As she investigates the curse that binds him, she discovers a far more complex mystery than she bargained for.
