They always told me that necromancy is in my blood. Only I didn’t know that I should take it literally. Today I got lucky—I became a student at the most prestigious academy in the empire. But along with fortune came trouble. An ancient curse, deaths among the students, and a dark goddess who somehow wants only my blood. But the worst part of all is the highest necromancer—the rector of the academy—who knows far more about me than he lets on. I should run from him, but you can’t order your heart.
