All he wanted was a fresh start. Now he’ll have to fight to keep it.

Dryth is an outcast—unwanted by his family and ostracized by his peers. His only dream? To get his Soul Card and vanish somewhere far from home. But, as always, nothing goes according to plan.

His Soul Card? The Contractor Card. A mage class that lets him form potent contracts with magical beings to gain power. Except his version comes with a twist: soul-forged pacts. If one of his bonded creatures dies, he dies too.
The good news? A young winged serpent is willing to take the risk.

The bad news? Someone wants them both dead—and one kill takes them both out.

With a merciless murderer closing in, Dryth will have to fight, level up, and defy the odds… or die trying.
