Once known by another name, her life was torn apart by the Inquisition. Her identity, her agency, her past — all erased behind the walls of a Sorcerer prison.
Liberated during the Third Sorcerer War by Rennoc and the rebel forces, Roslyn emerged into a world she no longer recognised. Five years on, she walks the highlands of a fractured Empire not to reclaim the life that was stolen — but to carve out something new from what remains.
She is not a chosen one.
She is not the centre of prophecy.
She is what happens when survival is the only story left — and you choose to keep living anyway.

Author note:
Roslyn is the most complex female character I’ve ever written — and the one I’m most proud to share.
