Yesterday I posted some responses to feedback on my White Rose voting thread. From those, I thought I would share with you the current Revised “Pitch” or Story Premise

In our world, we think of a person as composed of three things - Body, Mind and Soul
In the world of the White Rose, there is a fourth thing: the Name.

To Name a person is to have power over them. To steal their Name is to gain that power. Memory is linked to the Name. But it’s not the ordinary memory inside one person’s mind. It’s the Memory of the Name itself, of everything that person ever did, and everyone they ever met - to steal a person’s name is to effectively wipe them out of collective Memory - it’s as if they never existed…

This belief in the power of Names is widespread, but the dark rituals allowing Names to be stolen are the stuff of myth and legend. Just as every child learns to fear the bogeyman, name thieves are the inhabitants of their bedtime stories. The truth behind these tales has been lost to time… until now.

After surviving a horrific attack on her village, a young woman wakes with no memory of her Name; in fact no one else in the village can remember it either. It seems she is the victim of a forgotten magic… somehow, during the attack, someone has stolen her Name.

They call her the White Rose, but she is determined to get her true Name back, and she’s not going to let anyone stop her…
