Release Date: Winter 2020
Kallista Graye has spent the last three months living in Saint Benedict’s Institution, and now she’s about to be spat back out into the real world, with no memory of how she ended up in an asylum, or what tragic events had transpired that resulted in the death of her mother.
Kallista will uncover secrets left behind by her mother, and will be promised to a faceless Council of God as its newest instrument to balance the forces of good and evil.
I never thought myself to be very strange. I had my whole life planned out, the promise of perfect banality. Next thing I know, I wake up here. Saint Benedict’s Institution, where my neighbors couldn’t remember their own names, let alone their pasts. Unfortunately, the latter part, I am no exception. All I remember is car, driving, highway, mother. Blood, burning, blood, metal, blood, screaming, blood. Then nothing. Just blackness. I don’t know what happened on that highway. Nor do I know how my mother died, and I survived. And I suppose that makes me rather strange.
