In a world where magic is as common as a car crash, 17-year-old Aizen Bryce is a "False Caste Necromancer"...a social pariah whose very existence is considered an affront to nature. Raised in the lawless magical haven of Obverse Mountain, Aizen's quiet life of apothecary errands and homeschooling is shattered when his grandmother's past finally catches up with her. Before her dramatic exit, she forces Aizen to consume three "permanent enchantment" potions of questionable utility... the sum of her magical knowledge, the world's most flawless flamenco rhythm, and a love potion so potent it turns every woman he meets into a relentless pursuer. Exiled to the corrupt metropolis of Darkslate City, Aizen is hence thrust into the care of his estranged relatives... a psychotic, abusive older cousin and a 10-year-old child prodigy with a grudge against the world where chaos ensues.
