Summary
Tasked by an imperious Countess Nadia with determining the culprit of Count Lucio’s murder, Dema discovered that the murder is closely tied to her missing memories. Asra was her lover before he was her protector - why couldn’t he just have told her? She can’t quite remember the accused Julian, but she knows that she loves him fiercely, and the thought of losing him pushes her closer and closer to the point where she’s scared that her mind will break. Even if the damn fool is convinced that dying will let him return with a cure for the plague that threatens to resurge in the city.
There’s a damned ghost, goat - something - that appears to be preoccupied with her existence. And her cards have decided to quite literally start talking to her.
Maybe she’s already mad?
Rather darker. Rather trippier. Here, when we say ‘I’m having an existential crisis,’ we damn well mean it.
