Blase Novaro is the only witch alive since the Northern War, a war that wiped out the witch population. After ten years of being trapped in an old elf's basement he was finally free, but completely and utterly broken. Unable to end himself because of a curse, he does whatever he can to get something else to end him.
Four years later, the King of the East offers him something too irresistible to turn down, a chance to destroy the Northern Kingdom, now being ruled by the dirty elves. Blase has to work together with eight other powerful people in order to sneak into the North and end the King of the North and himself once and for all.
But something even more disastrous than his past happens, he falls in love. And he's afraid that the person he loves, will love him back. Because if they love him back, that will ruin his plans, he doesn't want to hurt them. Even worse, people start caring about him, and he contemplates whether ending himself really would be worth it.

After losing his family, Alden had lost a lot of himself too. Years later he still hadn't been able to make himself whole again. Maybe he never will, but with a new foster family, a loving purple haired friend, and a crush he might finally act upon, Alden's life might finally be getting better.
That doesn't mean there are no more bad days, for him or the people around him, but maybe those bad days will become a little easier to get through.
