When the young woman wakens in the gloom of a lightless cave, terror grips her heart. What work of fantasy and magic led her to this place, cursed by darkness and the loss of all her memories? For this young woman can remember nothing of her previous life, not even what her own face looks like or what dark secrets may lurk in her past. Determined to find out what mystery and suspense led her into the caves, she stumbles towards the sweet embrace of daylight, and there discovers a wizard in the woods who tells her of dark creatures, an evil sorceress, and her own destiny to defeat them. Armed with a scythe and a powerful artefact that allows her to see the truth of things, the newly named Harriet Gremp sets off on an epic adventure fantasy quest to free human souls from the demons that have been let loose on the Kingdom of Britannia. But with all the dark creatures she slays, more questions arise that she cannot quite answer. Who exactly is the wizard in the woods who holds her in such mystery and suspense? And what about the evil sorceress who left the world cursed by darkness and enduring such misery? The answers to these dark secrets, and to Harriet's true identity, will shake the very foundations of her world - if they do not destroy it first.
