Corrupted Vale

James and Annette are seasoned hunters from Tayan, the capital of the necromancy region nestled in the Rygrand Mountains. Working for the prestigious Academy, they track and eliminate the monstrous creations of necromancers, living a quiet life when not hunting zombies or other abominations. But their world shifts when they're assigned a new mission: capture a patchwork experiment more human than monster, one who might be more than they have bargained for.Rho is a living experiment. He has no memory of his past, only the knowledge that he is a creation of mad necromancers, torn apart and remade in their twisted labs. Struggling with the corruption of magic coursing through his veins and a mysterious voice in his head, Rho's only desire is escape-freedom from the monsters who have made him a plaything.Two stories collide as Rho manages to break free from his captors, fleeing Tayan with nothing but a nagging instinct and the cryptic guidance of the voice inside him. James and Annette are sent to track down the escaped undead. But the line between hunter and hunted blurs as Rho's humanity-and his power-becomes increasingly unpredictable.
