His body is a torturer’s canvas, his mind an empty slate—except for haunting dreams of a young girl’s face. He doesn’t even remember his name. But he knows that a legionnaire’s life is a brutal struggle. The only reward: a new identity and passport. A fresh start. You’d only take that deal if you needed to forget your past life.
