Lift asked a goddess to stop her from growing older - a wish she believed was granted. Now barely a teenager and a nascent Knight Radiant, she's been given safe haven by the young Azish emperor, protected from the mysterious executioner she knows only as Darkness. But court life is suffocating for someone who'd rather steal lunch than eat it at a table, and when Lift hears that Darkness is in the city of Yeddaw, hunting people like her - people with budding powers - she goes after him. Yeddaw's downtrodden have no champion, and Lift is starting to realise that the awesome responsibility she's been avoiding might be hers whether she wants it or not. A novella set between Words of Radiance and Oathbringer, originally published in Arcanum Unbounded.
