He forfeited his soul. Now he wants it back.

Durrin Rendhart had one goal: become the greatest pyromancer to ever live. All he still needed was a forbidden scroll, promised to him by a scheming politician.

In exchange, he slew a king and sparked a war.

Now, seven years later, Durrin begins to realize the full price of his crime: his soul is condemned to eternal torment.

Desperate to rewrite his fate, Durrin vows to end the war he helped to start. But will that require giving up the scroll he once gave everything to find?
