Description

What if the Sorcerer's Apprentice raised bloodthirsty mummies instead of brooms?

Scholarship student Jyximus Faire wants to be a mage. But the pace at the Academy isn't fast enough for Jyx. He wants to learn everything – and he wants to learn it now.

Dreaded necromancer general Eufame Delsenza needs a new apprentice, and Jyx fits the bill. She tasks him with helping to resurrect royal mummies for an all-important procession, and the impatient student realises this might be a chance of a lifetime.

Will Jyx take his education into his own inexperienced hands? Can a necromancer's apprentice learn to raise the dead – and control them? And shouldn't you always read the instructions first before you try to follow them?
