The Crucifix Dagger — Joel Harris

Talian, a self-taught Necromancer, has taken on the burden of saving a world -- a world that does not want his help because of the sins of those that came before him.

Now he believes he has finally found what he needs and has sought for so long. Something that has cost him nearly everything -- The Crucifix Dagger.

But there is another who seeks the dagger. One whose hatred and revenge burns so hot, he is willing to bathe the world in blood and pain.
