For six months, a mysterious serial killer has haunted the ancient city of Necthera, leaving behind victims with no witnesses, no motive, and no trace of the murderer. Every investigation ends the same way with more questions than answers. When Detective Dervan Halt discovers a forgotten symbol carved behind an ancient black stone, the case begins to unravel into something far older and far more dangerous than a series of murders. Joined by his partner Kael Voss and the newly assigned detective Lucien Vale, Halt uncovers clues buried beneath centuries of secrets, hidden organizations, and supernatural powers known as Shades abilities that grant extraordinary power at the cost of one's own memories. As the investigation deepens, the detectives realize they are no longer hunting a killer. Someone has been guiding them toward the truth all along. In a city where every clue is a trap and every memory has a price, one question remains: **What happens when the forgotten refuse to stay buried?**
