Living her day to day life as a magic scholar and reluctant village aid, Barrisaxe spends a peaceful existence occasionally marked by encounters with her eccentric friend, a man who lives only by the title of the Caviolinier.
When the two of them discover something haunting in the countryside, the consequences of lending a helping hand spiral out of control in ways that neither could expect.
Can Barrisaxe escape her tragic past, or the Caviolinier his? Or will they be drawn back into those dark times, never to return?
