William Holmes is a surveyor-hired under the table to scout plague areas and remove any undesirables, often uncovering hefty bounties while he is at it. To his contractors, William is simply a byproduct of the plague and his "talents" are best not considered. Despite being their best chance at recovering tainted land or valuable treasures, most don't want to share a drink with him after he's completed his contract. The plague is just as present on him as it is in the corrupted world. 
But, William knows this. And he is content being alone. 
A contract leads him into a settlement of crazed fanatics, a cult ring, and a peculiar girl who might just be more corrupt than him. Though he prefers a quick and clean contract, this one might lead him to the riches that can get him out of this cursed lifestyle.

One story, multiple ways to enjoy it! Read the bestselling published book right here as Wattpad Original or experience the story as a Webcomic on WEBTOON. Dive into the world of love and magic, any way you like to read. *** Sometimes love is the strongest magic of all *** Nineteen-year-old Rhia Greenbrook has lived in the sleepy town of Oakriver in a house with three generations of witches her entire life. Rhia draws her magic from the earth and likes to spend her time amongst plants and nature. Her practice is gentle, sacred, and-per her family's tradition-secret. New-to-town witch Valerie Morgan is looking for answers about her mother's disappearance from Oakriver seventeen years ago. Without her mother's guidance, Valerie has cultivated her fire magic on her own and she makes no effort to keep her powers hidden. Although Rhia is immediately annoyed by Valerie's blatant use of magic, she can't deny the instant magnetism between them. But amidst their magical connection, a dark presence looms over Oakriver. Unsettling visions from Rhia's grandmother and dangerous sleepwalking episodes throw into question Valerie's past and what role her presence plays in the strange happenings. And as Valerie gets tangled up further into the darkness, it's up to Rhia to tap into the full potential of her power in order to save the town she loves and the girl she's fallen for.
