Dante is a witch. Phineas is a vampire. The two are roommates. Phineas is a supernatural drug dealer and Dante is, reluctantly, Phineas's best customer. The drug helps control his illness, affectionately called Demon Curse. There's no telling when it'll kill him, but he knows it will. It took his parents years ago, and he's expected to go any day now. When Dante learns Demon Curse is as its name states - a curse - he's determined to find who's responsible and save himself. But the one responsible targeted Dante for his powers, and is on the other end waiting to collect his soul when he passes. They have no intention of letting Dante live. But Phineas has no intention of letting Dante die. He knows the only cure for the curse, and is determined to convince Dante to use it, even if Dante insists he'd rather die than become a vampire.

Phineas has managed to piss off just about everyone. But as long as Dante is alive, he's willing to deal with the consequences. Including Nyx's wrath. Dante is thrown into a world where magic is much easier to control, but comes at a cost. Dante is not ready to accept what Phineas has done, and rejects the new lifestyle he must live. The only life he wants is one without Phineas. Hades wants Phineas out of the way, and is willing to make a deal with Dante to do it. In return for Dante's help, Hades will bring Dante's family back. Torn by the possibility of seeing his family again and maybe not hating Phineas as much as he'd like to believe, Dante delves into the world of necromancy. But necromancy is a blood magic, and if Dante wants to bring his family back, he must accept how Phineas saved him and embrace it.

This book outlines a new, human focussed model for public services - an approach focused on achieving and maintaining wellbeing, rather than on reacting to crisis or attempting to 'fix' people.
