Void (Hamilton)

Necromancy is a double-edged blade - not evil by nature, but feared by those who refuse to understand.Albert is thirteen when he falls from a tree during a challenge with his brothers. It seems like a simple accident-until, in the void between life and death, he senses an ancient, dark… and irresistible presence. When he returns to the world of the living, nothing feels the same. Within him stirs the call of necromancy, a feared and forbidden art that promises answers where others dare not look.Five years later, Albert is ready to follow that call. But his parents force him to enroll at the University of Evocation, hoping to dissuade him. There, Albert finds new allies-Elka, a promising half-elf, and Orlik, a brilliant, sarcastic kobold-but also enemies, like the arrogant elf Tempras and the dominus of demonology, Kane, who seeks to lure him down a darker path.When Albert stumbles upon a mysterious diary, he begins to question everything. Perhaps necromancy isn't the evil path everyone claims it to be. Haunted by nightmares, buried secrets, and a shadowy figure watching him from afar, he must choose: deny who he is or embrace the destiny that awaits him in the shadow.Aspiring Necromancer is the first volume of The Void Trilogy, a dark and gripping fantasy saga. It follows the journey of a young man coming of age and defying expectations in a world of magic, secrets, and the most perilous desire of all - the hunger for knowledge about death.
