Corvus Kestrel is a renowned doctor, with a passion for the arcane arts. Though he has many talents, he has one ultimate goal: find the cure to "The Stain," a necromantic disease that has wrought havoc upon the continent of Endeamon for centuries.

As the third wave of this deadly plague encroaches upon his home, the doctor happens upon a mysterious scroll that may unlock the secret to the cure; a key that lies hidden in a powerful ritual.

But as nature must balance itself, so must magic, and some secrets come at a terrible price.

When swearing to "do no harm" comes at the cost of saving lives, can the doctor keep his promise?
