Some problems can't be solved with the roll of a die…After a major betrayal shook up my life, I'm attempting to lie low. Naturally, that's when the King of the Dead decides to show up on my doorstep again.
Seems His Deathly Highness needs a new Elemental Soldier, and he wants to hire me as his security guard to stop anyone from sabotaging the contest. Since the Order has been ghosting me ever since I accidentally blew up a vampire's house, I could use the cash -- even if it involves dealing with hot-tempered fire mages.
