Summary
Every night when she sleeps, Mother Superior Shadowheart is taken back to various moments in her past as a tadpoled adventurer. The flashbacks are quickly proven to be more than dreams, as she discovers whatever she does in the past changes the events of her present.
––––––––––
Shadowheart scours the beach for the familiar beaten barrel. She confidently plucks a set of rusted lockpicks, exactly where she knew they would be.

Summary
Dark Justiciar. Mother Superior. Her Chosen.
Shadowheart gave her heart to Shar and cast love and life aside, accepting the inevitability of loss. What she felt for Tav was meant to be meaningless and fleeting—just a memory, eventually to be forgotten. But even in the darkness that settled in her heart, a light endured. It refused to die, leaving her secretly yearning for something more.
Shar’s embrace grows ever tighter and her demands never cease. Until one day Shar orders the impossible: for Shadowheart to embrace the loss and kill Tav.
But breaking the chains and defying Shar would mean ruin.
Or perhaps… redemption.
