The Dark Sword

Leighton wakes with no memory in the Darklands, a strange world filled with things that make no sense, a world where the only way out is to face the past. He only remembers one thing: A girl with coral eyes, with a sword in her hands. How he is connected to her, he doesn't know, but he does know she is his only chance of remembering anything. And therefore, his only chance of returning to- well, wherever he came from.

But with the memory comes a feeling, a feeling that he does not understand, a feeling of deep betrayal and brokeness, and it is then he comes to a startling conclusion: If he remembers everything, it will either save him or break him.

"Have you ever felt like no matter where you go, you can't possibly escape yourself? That you are the problem. Well, that's me. Only I don't remember why I'm broken, so there's no way to fix me."

Free remembers nothing but two words: Find Leighton. That and the guilt that eats away at her heart, guilt that manifests itself in actual physical pain. Who is she, and what has she done? Her past remains clouded. The Darklands have burned away any memories she had of it.

But when she meets Leighton, she recognizes him instantly- and with that recognition, the pain only worsens.

Their pasts are tangled.
Their fates are tied.
If he can't forgive what she has done,
She cannot save his life.
