Gothika Series

The line between good and evil is in the eye of the beholder.   Necromancy is outlawed, and many consider it the ultimate evil. In a world where darkness lurks at every turn, Queen Marisol's death unveils a chilling mystery that threatens the very fabric of the kingdom. But the one who can save it is the most unlikely of heroes. Doctor Emilio Kane, a gifted Necromist, finds himself facing an impossible choice. As the spectral presence of Queen Marisol beseeches him for help from beyond the grave, he must decide whether to risk his people's wrath by wielding the forbidden power of the Ars Necromantia to uncover the truth of her murder. Caught between the haunting past and an uncertain future, Emilio's fate hangs in the balance. With every royal life at stake, he must navigate treacherous waters and confront the sinister forces at play. But harnessing the Ars Necromantia may come at a price he's not ready to pay - sealing his own tragic fate. In a race against time, Emilio's journey to unmask the true villain exposes a web of deceit and malevolence that conceals an evil more insidious than anyone could have imagined. As the shadows of deception threaten to engulf the kingdom, he must prove that his unconventional abilities don't make him the monster. Will Emilio rise above the darkness that tempts him? Can he thwart the unseen evil masquerading as good, or will the kingdom succumb to treachery? The fate of an entire realm - and its people - hinges on the choices of one unlikely hero.
