Born into a legendary lineage of wizards, Elric Mervinger should have been destined for greatness—but a rare affliction has stolen his magic, leaving him powerless in a world that reveres strength.

Desperate for a cure, his search leads him to the ancient demon Mephistopheles, trapped and seething beneath a dragon’s curse. The demon lunges for possession, hungry to claim Elric’s body as his escape. But fate has other plans. In a twist neither could foresee, Elric absorbs Mephisto instead, binding their souls in an unholy pact.

Now wielding demonic power he never imagined, Elric stands at a crossroads: Will this dark gift be the key to reclaiming his family’s shattered legacy? Or will the demon lurking within consume him from the inside out?
