Who is Kaine Ferron?
The war's over. The Undying won. Helena Marino wakes in chains with a year gone from her memory, and she's handed to the High Reeve: Kaine Ferron, heir to the richest guild in Paladia, and someone she knew before everything fell apart. His job is to find what she's hiding. What she finds in his house is a lot messier than an enemy.
What does Kaine look like?
Colourless silver-white hair, a bleached pallor and silver-grey eyes. A healing during the war changed them for good. Before that, his hair was dark.
Kaine's signature traits
- Cold, exact, almost impossible to read
- His own side is scared of him
- Bound by orders he can't refuse
- Tied to Helena's past far more than she remembers
Red flag: he's the enemy's top man. Literally. Green flag: there's more to that than you know yet.
