A slayer in danger of being slain…
The life of a Tumultbriar is a tough one. It’s a life of trekking hundreds of miles to save villages while dealing with weariness as monster blood clings to your hair and boots. It’s lifting longswords till your arms feel like jelly, and slaying beasts till you feel like fainting. It’s this life, combined with the weight of upholding the family beast-slaying legacy, that leads Oleander Tumultbriar to make a deadly mistake; take a shortcut by using a potion to slay a beast.
But when the slain beast returns from the grave in search of vengeance Oleander realizes he’s been cursed… and by his own doing! As he rushes to fix his mistake he turns to the only one who can help him, his most trusted friend Marlow.
But Marlow is harboring a dark secret, one which may be the key to saving Oleander, but comes at a cost if shared. She’ll have to choose between destroying her friendship or risk losing her best friend all together.
Time is ticking for Oleander to lift his curse or face a fate worse than death—the fury of the undead.
