Book Description

Bel, a graduate from the Academy of Arts and Magic, takes the final vow of celibacy, sacrificing his love for Shireen in order to be an apprentice. After that traumatic experience, Bel attempts to start his new life under a wise-cracking wizard, but everything is not what it seems.

While being chosen as an apprentice is exciting for Bel, he is still hesitant. His new master is one of the most renowned wizards throughout the lands, but his two previous apprentices were killed under his watch. The mysteries surrounding each of their untimely departures from this world has left Bel skittish and insecure. And his mysterious dreams of a one-armed boy fervently warning him about something that he cannot decipher does nothing to calm his fears either.

Immediately young Bel and his magician master are thrust into an adventure when reality is torn open allowing the dead to spill out of the underworld. They must journey under the shadow of darkness to try to discover how the fabric of reality has been rent allowing the zombie horde to walk among the living. Who did it and why? Was it intentional? Can they defeat them? Can they close the rift? Can a teenager learning the ways of magic and an ancient sorcerer long past his prime stop the darkness, close the breach and save all reality?
