When Kaelis dies on Earth and wakes up in Kalhalla—a darkly enchanting world shaped from the corpses of fallen gods and demons—he quickly realizes his troubles have only just begun. Now trapped in a forced magical marriage to Espen, a cynical, antisocial witch apprentice with a dangerously short temper, Kaelis couldn't be more displeased. Espen, whose revered master—the legendary Witch Saint of Darkness—has mysteriously vanished, finds herself tethered to the one creature she despises most: a human.
Bound by a twisted spell that ensures mutual destruction if either dies, the unlikely duo must grudgingly cooperate. Kaelis, intent on unraveling the mystery behind his bizarre resurrection, and Espen, desperate to locate her missing mentor, embark on a perilous journey across a land teeming with vicious spirits, scheming demons, arrogant warriors, and fickle gods.
But surviving Kalhalla—and each other—is easier said than done. Between Espen's constant threats of murder (despite the obvious consequences), and their mutual disdain for just about everything, their quest quickly spirals into a darkly hilarious, tension-filled adventure.
In a world where danger lurks behind every shadow and the line between ally and enemy is razor-thin, can these two bitterly bound souls survive long enough to break their curse—or will they kill each other first?
