  Summary

  Kit Lennox is a 17-year-old necromancer. Groomed to serve as Companion and deathly warrior for a ruthless prince, in a sudden political gamble, he is traded as a pawn to the Konways, the royal family his mother was exiled from.

  Ryse Konway is an 18-year-old noble. Arrogant, charismatic (when needed), and known for his selfish and lazy attitude, he is abruptly thrust into the role of Keeper to a half-brother he never wanted to meet or know.

  In a backdrop of royal intrigue, these two brothers must find a way to navigate the familial pressures and burdens that come with being in the centre of a corrupt system while finding unexpected loyalty and friendship in each other along the way.
