Abandoned by his parents and forced to survive alone on the streets, Flynn grows up surrounded by hardship and despair. Just when he begins losing hope entirely, he receives an unexpected opportunity to enroll in Willow City Necromancy Academy—a place feared by many for training masters of death and spirits.

Within the academy, Flynn quickly discovers that he possesses extraordinary spiritual talent hidden deep within him. As he defeats terrifying specters and forms contracts with increasingly powerful spirit companions, his strength rises at an unbelievable pace, leaving even the academy’s greatest geniuses far behind. Before long, he is praised as a once-in-a-generation prodigy destined for greatness.

But beneath the admiration and fame, Flynn hides a darker goal.

The pain of abandonment and betrayal still burns fiercely inside him, driving his ambition to become the strongest necromancer in existence so he can one day take revenge on those who threw him away. Yet as massive specter hordes begin threatening the world, Flynn finds himself standing between two paths—becoming the hero humanity desperately needs, or allowing his hatred to consume him completely.
