   Summary

   Lord Enver Gortash finds The Dark Urge after Orin’s betrayal – shaken, bleeding, and slipping into amnesia. Convinced her memories are the only thing keeping her alive beneath Bhaal’s shadow, Gortash clings to every detail, name, scent, scar, and old ritual – doing whatever it takes to anchor her to herself.

   Even if it means crossing lines he swore he never would.
