Necromancer 2

Ethan Meyer survived Book 1 by discovering what he was. In Book 2, survival isn't enough.

At Muse Academy, power attracts attention. Paladins see necromancy as something to be purified.

Ethan must stop being only the ghost-kind boy with a strange gift and become a real necromancer, one strong enough to protect his ghosts, his team, his mentor's trust, and the impossible intelligence hiding inside his chip. Under Master Lewis's brutal lessons, Ethan is pushed into dungeons, rifts, corpse work, monster undead, shadow magic, and anti-paladin survival doctrine.

Ethan will never be safe, but he can become too costly to take.
