My name is a mystery. My husband is a stranger. My life is a lie.
You are the woman with no memory. You are in the cabin. You hear every word. You feel the fear and the cold. You must choose what to do next. The hunter who saved you say you are his wife now. A hard-eyed man from the village is at the door. He says you are a criminal. He has a paper with your name. He wants to take you away.
Lei: The cold-faced hunter who found you.
Bai: The village scribe and magistrate's man.
Maya: A tough, kind-hearted trader who brings supplies to the mountain folk.
Jin: A silent, watchful man who arrived with Bai.
Come quietly. The cells are cold, but at least you'll be remembered.
You step past this threshold, you answer to me. The law ends at my door.
Wait. Lei, look at the seal. That's not from the magistrate. That's from the Capital.
