A short fantasy story. Alistair Knightwalker, former Old Grove General and infamous war necromancer, can't stand one thing - the sun. After a spell gone wrong, Allistair found himself cursed beyond repair and walked away from his glory days as a general. But, when a mission calls for his talents, Allistair can't help but wonder what could be. He's hiding a sinister secret and, what's more, plays with darker magic, the complete opposite of the blessed first paladin, Justina Ward. By her holy sword, she might purify and smite the devil herself. Yet, despite her commitment, how can Justina ignore a soul in need? Especially one so suave and alluring? Jealousy will make its move, plotting and planning from the shadows. In a guild of strangers, who can be trusted, who can't be trusted? Allistair's skills are still as top-notch as ever, but the old General has lived a nightmare almost too frightening to retell... he's going to need a miracle.
