Deirdre doesn't know who she is. It seems that no one does, but Duke Arvis Velthomer has been very kind to her after finding her unconscious in his gardens, and she is very grateful for that. She has been learning about the world and herself with varying amounts of success while striking up a friendship with the duke. A friendship that seems to surprise everyone except for her. Two months after she was found in the gardens, she wakes up from a nightmare and goes out into the hall. Between her room and Arvis's, she finds more holes in her memory and a necklace she's certain she didn't have before. Her life was already strange. It seems it's going to get weirder.
