*Completed story* Samuel is a typical jock, used to moving and changing schools often, and fitting right in like nothing happened. At this new school, Sam makes an unexpected friend, Miles, who might just become his first genuine friend. But Miles is not an ordinary boy; he is a witch, gifted with the power of necromancy. Miles' magic fascinates Sam and he even tries to help his friend develop his powers. After all, the only other witch Miles knows is his mother who is too busy being intoxicated and abusive to be of any help. An unexpected tragedy at their school threatens to reveal Miles' secret and the world of the witches as a whole.
