He’ll die without touch.
As a necromancer, Shae loses a little more of himself every time he uses his magic. Always cold, always touch-starved, the only thing that helps is human contact. But that’s hard to come by when those same dark powers scare everyone away from him. Nobody likes a necromancer.
Especially a paladin of the Radiant Order.
Sage doesn’t mean to trespass—the first time. He just accidentally hikes into the Fae King’s magical forest. And instead of punishing him, Auberon rewards Sage with a kiss that turns his heart upside down.
The second time Sage trespasses is definitely on purpose. But when Sage breaks their deal, Auberon vanishes.
Now, Sage is desperate for a new bargain.
