Ever since she's been diagnosed with brain cancer, Estelle Cordelia has lost the meaning of trust and love. Every "I love you" was because she had cancer. Every tear, touch, and hug was because of her cancer. Every time she started a conversation, it always led back to cancer. It was bad enough that her family smothered her, taking her freedom from her. But her self value? That left the moment that tumour had been revealed. She would've been happy to die. Hell, she did. Her doctors had given her a way to save herself. The price? Her ability to move. They told her it would only happen if someone made a mistake while removing the tumor, but it scared her nonetheless. So she decided in the span of a minute: If she was going to die, she would do so on her own terms. Not because of a fucking disease, and not because of a mistake that would cost her, her freedom. She'd lost enough of it because of the disease, she wouldn't lose it again. And so she jumped. She jumped off the building, and let death wrap its arms around her. But death wasn't what she thought it would've been. She expected darkness, peace. But she woke up in a field of golden flowers while the sun rose. And in front of her, was a man. She could only assume he was the Grim Reaper, but he looked too young, too naive. And, most of all, he was surprised. It seemed he had the question she had: What was she doing here?

Life breathes through her twin sister, Ilyana. The urge to heal even the smallest of wounds fuels the tips of her fingers, yet not even her blessed magic can bring back the family she's lost. All that's left for her to inherit is a duty of isolation and sacrifice. When an archaic necromancer curse awakens, sealing in Wyrith and taking lives one by one, the sisters face a harrowing choice. After a decade apart, will they unite to unravel the ancient magic before it's too late? Or will secrets and enemies shred their last hope for Wyrith, leaving nothing but an island of corpses?

The kingdoms of Caedland and Saroviya have been at war for centuries, and a darkness has spread across the Northern Lands. In the east, Saroviya has been crippled by fighting on multiple fronts, while Caedland still reels from the murder of its queen's consort and the disappearance of its princess nearly two decades ago. Now, in the war-torn lands between the two kingdoms, a new threat has emerged, an unnatural disease that specifically targets the witches who fight for both kingdoms. In Caedland, a new draft means that young witch Judith Craven must report to the kingdom's capital to join the New Army and begin her training in the military arts. There, however, she soon discovers that her power is not as it seems-and neither is her heritage. Meanwhile, in Saroviya, the king's personal Healer, Alina Kalinin, finds herself sucked into a dangerous political landscape when she is assigned by the leader of the Order of Mages to create a cure for the mysterious new disease that has appeared on her kingdom's border. Even as Judith grapples with awful power and Alina struggles to understand a disease whose origins she soon comes to suspect aren't natural, a group of criminals in the neutral kingdom of Rijkelund set out to steal a sacred artifact from the Saroviyan embassy. But, as they embark on a seemingly-impossible mission, they soon discover that all is not as it may seem, and both Saroviya and Caedland are playing a very different game than it may seem from the outside.
