    Summary

    Emmrich Volkarin had long been curious about Antiva—and Antiva, it seemed, had been waiting for him.
    When Lorenzo Bellanti petitioned the Nevarran University for a necromancer, the request promised more than academic rigor. Beneath Antiva’s streets lay ruins older than the nation itself, crowded with restless spirits, unquiet dead, and secrets that refused to stay buried.
    Rather than seclude himself behind the Circle’s walls, Professor Volkarin chose the city—its pulse, its color, its danger. He wanted Antiva as it breathed.
    That was how, one warm evening, a wrong turn became an invitation. Lanterns glowed low and gold. Music spilled into narrow streets. Perfume, laughter, and sin braided together in the air.
    And one elf—smiling in a way that stole breath and better judgment alike—who promised, very sweetly, to show him the best Antiva had to offer.
