Overview

At the Iron College, only the strongest survive.

Mattheus Glint is clever, bright, a gifted healer beloved by students and faculty alike. Andralphas Marrow is dark, alluring, yet frightening, like his necromancy. Once close friends, now bitter rivals, driven apart by their clashing mystical talents.

Both have been chosen for ascension through the towers of the Iron College, an arcane academy where magic is earned by spilling blood, sweat, and tears. But only one will claim a coveted apprenticeship in true necromancy, unlocking forbidden secrets and the mysteries of the undead.

The time for a final trial draws near: a dangerous duel. Will Mattheus and Andralphas rekindle their affections, or will this deadly duel bring an end to their forgotten friendship — perhaps even their lives?
