Death is no escape from the grasp of a malevolent necromancer. Five hundred years ago, Angelo was burned at the stake and reborn as a phoenix. That's when his true suffering began. For more than a century, he has born the brand of necromancer Rutherford Bromley. Bound by magical ties even death can't escape, Angelo is a slave to the mad man's vile whims. It falls to him to find victims Bromley can harvest organs from. If he fails, he pays with his own flesh.
Curse worker Wes is the first person to recognize the necromancer's brand for what it is. Desperate to be free, Angelo eagerly partners with Wes in search of a spell that will kill Bromley once and for all. But Bromley anticipates their attack, and Angelo's chance at escape goes up in flames. Left smoldering in his hatred, Angelo now seeks more than freedom. He longs for fiery revenge and vows to claim it, no matter the cost.
