Found collapsed at the foot of a Wall, she's taken in by Erwin Smith, who claims her as his half-sister to protect her from a fate worse than death. But the Walls have ears, and the secrets she carries won't stay buried forever. Her pendant? An ancient artifact the Wall Cult would kill for. Her blood? Too sacred to be left alive. She remembers nothing. But he remembers her. "𝙔𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙖 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙖 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙨𝙤 𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡, 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙚. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙞𝙚.

And in Marie's dreams-golden chains, fire, and a love screaming through time. But what binds her to Levi Ackerman runs deeper than memory. A primal instinct, fierce and unbreakable, draws them together-like souls long torn apart, finally colliding again. "𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝, 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙚... 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚." - 𝙀𝙧𝙬𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙝 He would sacrifice her if he had to. For the Walls. Even if it meant silencing the only person who still reminded him of who he used to be.
