Erkin lives for the day he can finally wrap his hands around the throat of the Witch of the Sun. As a brilliant northern pharmacist surviving in the land that destroyed his home, his every smile is a mask and his every cure is a step toward finding the monster who murdered his parents. When he is summoned to the secluded castle of Mormeratta to treat a mysterious master who never leaves the shadows, he believes his quest for vengeance is nearing its end. But the patient he finds is not a cackling demon; she is Hildegar, a woman whose profound loneliness and haunting eyes begin to bridge the gap in his own broken heart. The path to healing is paved with a devastating irony: the woman he is learning to cherish is the same legendary butcher he has sworn to kill. When the light of the sun finally exposes the blood on her hands, Erkin will have to choose between the justice of a blade and the mercy of a love that should never have existed.
