In a world where forbidden magic whispers promises of power and ruin, Ophelia, a gifted necromancer, walks a dangerous line between salvation and damnation. Desperate to save the only person who ever mattered to her, she strikes a bargain with a phantom-a shadowy, malevolent force that wears the guise of salvation but twists her desires into a waking nightmare.
Her pact unleashes a devastating power within her, one that turns the dead into her servants and the battlefield into a graveyard under her control. But as blood soaks her hands and her soul teeters on the edge of the abyss, Ophelia begins to see the phantom's strings coiling tighter around her. Every choice she makes drives her deeper into its web, every victory tainted by the cost.
In a world consumed by shadows, where loyalty is a weapon and betrayal festers in every corner, Ophelia must decide how far she's willing to go to survive-and how much of herself she's willing to lose.
Will she seize control of the darkness within her and wield it on her own terms? Or will she become the phantom's pawn, the harbinger of ruin it always intended her to be?
Wicked, seductive, and steeped in moral ambiguity, this dark fantasy tale explores the price of power and the razor-thin line between hero and monster.
