Shame Flynn is one of the most powerful Death magic users in the world. He has pushed himself and magic to the limit, even though there's hell to pay. But he's finally miscalculated and pushed magic too far. The price for breaking magic? Death magic is eating him alive. The only thing stopping it from slipping his grip and killing everything in a hundred mile radius, is the Life magic user, Terric Conely. Bad news: Terric is losing his own battle with magic. Worse news: A powerful old enemy bent on revenge found out about the broken magic. He stole forbidden technology so he can weaponize magic against the people who destroyed his life. People like Shame and Terric. People like their family and friends. Shame and Terric are holding on by a thread. But that won't stop them from fighting for the people they love. Even if it means losing their humanity. Even if it means losing control of magic. Even if it means they have to die to do it.
