Synopsis
Cassandra has been living on a pirate ship ever since losing her memories two years ago, yet when visions of an unknown woman start haunting her, she knows it must relate to her past. Leaving the only life she's ever known, she ventures to her hometown of Thelerissa to find the woman she's been dreaming about.
Persefona has had enough adventure to last a lifetime. All she wants to do is live out her life in peace and quiet, but Cassandra's presence is making waves in town, forcing her to step out of the shadows and confront what she's been hiding from.
In order to find out Cassandra's past, they'll have to use their resources to delve into the world of the Thelerissan elite. However, secrets hide beneath the facade of a peaceful merchant city and the price for finding them may be too high for both of them...
