Some men are broken by grief. Nicholas Draven was forged by it.

At twenty-three, Nicholas was a gifted healer ready to confess his love. He never got the chance. By dawn, the Order of Radiant Grace had burned his family’s estate to the ground, taking his father, his love, and his entire faith in goodness.

Twelve years later, the healer is gone. In his place is Draven, the Shadow Necromancer—a methodical reckoning made flesh, hunting the Grand Inquisitor who ordered his family's destruction.

But he doesn't walk alone. His sister Mara guards his dark secret. Garrick Voss, an Order investigator hunting him, finds his own faith crumbling the deeper he digs. And Orenn, a scholar researching forbidden magic, offers Nicholas a reason to be a human again, not just a weapon.

Grand Inquisitor Theron Vance is a true believer, convinced unregulated magic is a danger that must be purged. As Nicholas closes in, he must decide if the mercy his father once practiced still has a place in the man the fire made him.

If you love: morally gray anti-heroes, slow-burn romance, bloody revenge quests, and complex magic systems—this is your next read.
