Loch's sister is taken to the Arcanum as a young girl, full of magic and promise. Two years later she is a fledgling witch, digging in the mud, soaked to the bone by the rain. The grave she digs up is her brother's, killed two years prior in a Narfil raid. She makes a deal with the Fae for his soul to be returned to his body, for him to live again. But every deal has a catch... now she must bend her knee to the will of the Skeleton King, a powerful High Fae bent on controlling the Wylds. Loch, living a new life with a soul Tainted by Death, will stop at nothing to save his sister from Corruption in the Wylds. He will do what he must, learn what he must, become what he must... and if he needs to burn the three realms to the ground to save her, he will. Sedra, the High Fae, has had her eye on control of the Wylds for thousands of years. When she sees a young Warlock, channeling through the scars of Death, she knows that she has found her edge.
