This whole situation is completely unfair. Crazy, ludicrous, inefficient, and preposterous.

Necromancy isn't one of the most well-respected Arts. In fact, we're pretty much attacked and scorned for our "mistreatment" of the human life, as well as others lives, despite people not comprehending how we ourselves view lives. Respecting life and using it as a malleable force are two separate things and can easily be intertwined.

That's my philosophy on the topic, and as a newly found master of the craft, I felt it to be perfectly legitimate.

Except that my master, had departed from the land of the sane, and viewed himself as a god. Not God with a capital G, just a god, because then we'd be delving into a whole new realm of philosophy with "who created you if you are God?" and such things.

In any event, my master now viewed himself as a god, and the community of supernaturalists were all up in arms about it. They set out on a witch-run witch hunt for him and caught up to him. He was basking in the praise and admiration of a village of people he had brought back from the dead and the brink of death. The witch's sent him back to his own world, to death, where he would be able to preside without "endangering the balance of the elements on earth".

I was forbidden to practice my arts in an extreme, fearing that I would also tip off to the deep end.

But what they don't know won't hurt them.

Besides, I could very easily be the Necromancing god we've been awaiting for eons.

(as if.)
Told from the perspective of my character Juliet, a well-skilled necromancer affiliated with the Triplets.

This feels like it would be an awesome novel. I enjoyed it. Favorite part--->Except that my master, had departed from the land of the sane, and viewed himself as a god.
