Never Die Twice

Walter Tye is the friendly neighborhood shopkeeper, always ready with a healing potion or a tip about the local dungeon’s dangers. Adventurers trust him—his prices are fair, his advice invaluable. But behind the warm smile lies a chilling truth: Walter is the necromancer who commands the dungeon’s horrors, orchestrating the very threats he helps others overcome. A master of deception, he profits from both sides of the conflict, selling salvation while weaving the disasters that demand it. His double life thrives—until whispers of his true identity begin to spread. As suspicion grows and enemies close in, Walter must decide how far he’ll go to protect his sinister empire. The only thing more dangerous than a necromancer is one who’s learned to hide in plain sight.
