A mysterious acolyte.
A forgetting drug.
A dangerous forest.

My Review: Unfortunately, this one was a mess in certain places. Timelines were off in how they were described and it just made it hard to follow. I did enjoy the characters and their situation but with the writing the way it sets just didn't work for me. It made parts very confusing and overall choppy.
