In a world where death magic is sometimes the lesser of the evils, a dark mage risks everything for redemption.
To win a pardon, Raven must play a dangerous game of double agent. His mission: help the Guardians bring down his master William, the most powerful dark mage alive.
His only Guardian contact is Cassandra, his former lover and the apprentice he once betrayed. His best weapon is the Ravensblood, a fearsome magical artifact his master thought destroyed.
As Raven struggles to regain Cassandra’s trust, the two of them devise a desperate plan to defeat William.
If their plan fails, Raven could lose everything: his freedom, his love, his life, and his soul.
And if William acquires the Ravensblood, he will gain the power to bring the world to its knees.
