How did Delilah Briarwood come to be known as a powerful necromancer?

As a student at the Alabaster Lyceum, Delilah was a strategic and cunning mage with deadly ambitions.

Her tactical elegance and cold confidence eventually led her to a position at the Soltryce Academy, which provided her a place to conduct her research as well as the opportunity to rub elbows with the rich and powerful of the Dwendalian Empire.

With her unwavering focus, everything was going to plan…that is, until she met Sylas Briarwood.

They quickly fell in love and were married, but the two's life of wedded bliss is tragically upended when Sylas falls ill, succumbing to his rare disease before Delilah can find a cure.

Heartbroken and beyond desperate, Delilah turns to a powerful being that ultimately reunites her with her soulmate…with a few monstrous caveats.

Though they can pretend that their life together is back to the way it once was, Delilah and Sylus must now walk down the path of no return.

What obstacles will befall the Briarwoods as they attempt to resurrect the Whispered One?
