Publisher's Summary

Contained in Darkness is a fantasy novel written by Amberly Henning.

We start at the beginning. Our protagonist wakes up barefoot, covered in blood, and surrounded by the dead. Without a name or memories, she decides to run. She is saved by Sir Septimus Sabine, who gives her a name, Iro, and leaves her in the trusting hands of Mother Bordeaux. But in a twist of fate, Mother Bordeaux sells Iro to the greedy King of Bast as a nanny.

Bast is in the middle of a famine, a rebellion, and quite possibly a curse. By day, Iro suffers from violent visions. By night, she has vivid dreams of a life she might have lived. Unlocking the reasons for her dreams and visions might not only save herself, but the entire country as well.

Trigger warnings: Sexual assault, slavery, violence, and some gore.
