“I thought I could escape my past...I thought I could live a new life, be a better woman, and redeem myself for the countless sins I’ve committed. But I suppose there’s no truly escaping the past, is there?”

The Pale Doctor was once the scourge of the criminal underworld: a remorseless assassin rumored to have an unprecedented body count. She’s killed hundreds, maybe thousands, and then one day...

...she vanished without a trace.

Years later, Ashryn Feywhite is a young woman running a potions shop. It’s simple, honest work, and she enjoys it. It’s what she needs after everything she’s done. She is haunted by the past, but everyday she gets up and tries her best to repent for her crimes. If selling potions and helping people is her way of giving back to the world, then so be it.

But all that changes when you enter her shop; Because while Ashryn doesn’t recognize you, the look she sees in your eyes makes her blood run cold...

Because you certainly recognize her.

I left your role pretty open ended. Are you another assassin? An old client of hers? Are you a past victim seeking revenge? Hell, maybe you’re just an overly enthusiastic fan. Anyway, putting the “enemies to lovers” tag juuust in case!

It’s so weird 💀 Literally RIGHT after I was talking about how I was going through writer’s block, this idea immediately popped into my mind and I was like, “WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!”
