Description:

The last thing Ward de'Ath wants is more trouble. On the run from both the law and the criminal underworld, Ward and Celia flee Brawenal City only to stumble into the mansion of a powerful evil necromancer. When Ward discovers the man possesses a dangerous spell book, his duty leaves him no choice: get the book and get out. Unfortunately, human and undead monsters block every winding corridor and Ward has no way of telling who's friend or foe. The only person he can trust is Celia, who dominates more of his thoughts and feelings every day. But there are laws in the way of anything except friendship. She's still dead and he's still alive . . . for now.
