“Death is merely the first step.” This chilling phrase holds profound meaning for Leon von Marbas, the last scion of a fallen dynasty of necromancers. After being compelled to end his father’s life by the patriarch of a rival bloodline, the young heir inherits a crumbling legacy besieged by external foes and internal betrayals. To reclaim his family’s former might, Leon must forge a dangerous alliance with the infernal entity Marbas—the ancient wellspring of dark magic that once made his ancestors feared across the land.
Surrounded by treachery and with his lineage on the brink of extinction, Leon faces impossible choices. The demon’s whispers promise power beyond mortal comprehension, but at what cost? As enemies circle like vultures, the desperate nobleman must navigate a labyrinth of political intrigue while mastering forbidden arts. His journey will test the limits of morality, forcing him to confront whether the ends truly justify the means when rebuilding a legacy steeped in death.
The path ahead is shrouded in shadows, each step bringing Leon closer to either redemption or damnation. With every spell cast and every pact sealed, the line between savior and monster blurs. Can the young necromancer outmaneuver his foes without losing himself to the darkness? Or will his quest for vengeance consume what little remains of his fractured soul? The answers lie in the abyss—and Leon must plunge deeper than ever before.
