The office of Death is usually held by a human chosen by the "Corpus" council. This time, they choose Victor, a mad necromancer who cheats his way into immortality as an undead being. Upon discovering his forbidden use of necromancy, the council strips him of his title. Victor refuses to yield, using dark arts to gather evil creatures and killing the newly appointed Death to steal his power, causing catastrophic damage to the world's balance. Only someone with equal power can stop him. Scarlett, ignorant of her heritage, is pulled into this struggle when her village is attacked and her lover, Benedict, is killed. She must unlock her hidden abilities, attempt to rescue Benedict from the dead, and save the living world from Victor.
