The Black Knife
The most dangerous form of magic on Touched – a world where those
born with magic wield political power – is necromancy, the art of
drawing magical power from the act of murder. It has long been
banned and rightfully so, yet the ambitious and power-hungry Duke
Herod – intent on placing his posterior upon the Golden Throne – has
resurrected the art, planning to use it to destroy the Royal Family
and take the Throne for himself.
On the eve of their wedding, Prince Eric and Mistress Hind are
forced to flee the Palace as Herod’s forces launch a coup against
the Emperor. As they make their way to the only safety left in a
world touched by necromancy and darkest magic, they are pursued by
Herod’s men, while behind them Herod sinks further into madness. If
the necromancer cannot be stopped, the entire world is in terrible
danger…
…And may be destroyed.
