A strange and ominous place called the Edge— the border between the world of the living and the world from which there is no return. But there are those who manage to linger and not cross the fateful line—and with the right desire, they can be brought back. Of course, if you know how. I’m a necromancer, and that’s entirely within my power. But the real question is: do I need to bring back my former student who betrayed me? Is the promised reward worth putting my life in danger again? How do you fulfill the reckless promises you made without ending up behind the Edge yourself? And what to do with the rapidly growing number of those who find their way to my long-hardened heart?
