A Princess born of two kingdoms. Twin necromancers born with split magic. A vengeful assassin waiting in the shadows. As a young princess born from the realms of Death and Dream, some question Willow's right to rule. It will one day be her duty to rule the Kingdom of Death and command her Reaper knights to guide all souls of the dead down to her cold caverns of Grim for their afterlife. But for now, she must strengthen her weak magic and sharpen her skills with the scythe if she hopes to be respected for more than her bloodline. Unexpectedly, one of her biggest supporters is a new Reaper-in-training boy with different colored eyes. Xavier and his twin brother Alex didn't know they would be dining with the royal family of Grim on their first day of moving within the palace grounds. And Xavier wasn't prepared to meet an enchanting young Death Princess, let alone one with six elements of magic. He and his brother would be lucky to have even one whole element, but the twins' abilities to raise the dead had been split at birth. Xavier can only use his magic on deceased souls. Alex can only resurrect decaying corpses. Halved magic has never been seen in the five realms, and the twins are considered crippled in the magic community when separated. Together, though, Willow and the twins may be capable of anything. But they aren't prepared for an assassin trapped in the Dream realm for 500 years who has sworn vengeance on the royal families of Death and Dream. And with an ancient, poisonous magic, he won't leave any souls alive.
