What's worse than a past that comes back to haunt you? One you don't even know.When Edin awoke in a stranger's bedroom, having forgotten everything but his name and age, he did not expect to be thrown into an ongoing war. As a gifted - a rare group of humans born with special abilities - Edin is forced to become a guardian and protect the realm of Idelhen from wild beasts and other magical threats, lest mankind fall prey to monsters.Arden Mægenstern, Idelhen's strongest guardian and the last stand against a sorcerer more powerful than most gifteds combined, takes Edin under her wing and works with him to restore his memories. A fateful encounter with a wild beast later deems Edin worthy of becoming a guardian. His sheer power also promises an end to the sorcerer's reign of terror. However, just as he's thrust onto the battlefield, he realizes that there are other monsters than the feral creatures he's forced to slay.And they're waging a war within him.As Edin's inner demons and obscure past creep out of the shadows, the world wonders whether he really is Idelhen's next hope or its demise in disguise.
