Necromancy, a rare and terrible gift, is only a means of profit for young Korvinian Snow, but new troubles prompt him to take more precautions as he peddles his unsanctioned trade through the lands of Emral. Titus Helm is an ex-soldier and would-be hero. With nowhere to go and no money to his name, he finds himself selling his sword for pay and it just so happens someone is hiring.  Magician Seeks Bodyguard - Fair Pay - Must Travel. The lands of Emral are ripe with monsters and old magic. While the age of dragons is waning, giving way to an age of man, those ancient beasts and their power aren't the only threats in this world. Our dynamic duo will encounter zealous knights, rebellious clans, monsters of all varieties, and will find that all isn't as black and white as one might believe.  If you're a fan of Neflix's Castlevania series or the Witcher, this story is for you. This is a serial story of adventures in a dark world and will likely encompass a wide variety of situations and characters. I have ticked off all content warnings because I do not know what these characters may encounter as the story moves forward. This story will be released a chapter every other day for the month of January and then dialed back to two chapters a week going forward.
