Short description

Jonur, a biology student, doesn't believe in demons or magic. On a field trip to Lake Forsaken to determine why there's no life, he encounters a girl with night-black eyes. She claims the rocks emit poison and that he's affected now too. Can they work together to heal the area, or will the man-shy girl let him die?

Extended description

Jonur, a biology student at the University of Selath, doesn't believe in demons or magic. He thinks there's a rational explanation why almost nothing lives in the area around Lake Forsaken. As he and his partner collect samples from the area, they become sick themselves. Then Jonur encounters a foreign girl with a stranger book. She claims the area is poisoned and that Jonur and his partner are now affected. However, she plans to use her book to create an animal that can neutralize the poison. Who is this girl? Can she and Jonur work together to fulfill her plan, or will she let him die?

A short story about 5,000 words long, set in the world of the forthcoming Season Lords fantasy series. Also includes a bonus chapter from Lyon's Legacy, Book One of the Catalyst Chronicles.
