In a world where justice is merciless, if you are alive and your charge is dead then your days are numbered.
Feldspar awaits execution for that very crime and only has three days to prove the impossible. Her world and her role in it are not what she thought they were after all. Lies, deceit and the murder she’s been accused of have her questioning the reality she had known for so long.
Niko, a royal maverick, is her only ally. Together they delve into the mechanics, secrets and hierarchy of their home in the underground colony, to try to prove her innocence before it’s too late. However, the monarchy rules with a deathly flair that spares no mortal from its touch.
Three days to prove the impossible. Three days to find out who the murderer is.
Three days left to live if she can’t find the answers she needs.
