Charon's Bane

When there isn’t much left to live for, death can be the greatest release. But what if dying isn’t as easy as it seems? - Trent Wildfire, son to the late curator of Bronzewood’s once thriving art museum, has watched as his life alongside his grief-stricken, alcoholic father has been reduced to a daily struggle to find happiness. When a disheartening series of events thrust him into darkness, he finds himself at the forgotten museum bidding farewell to his mother and hoping for her forgiveness. However, when he is interrupted by an old enemy, things turn violent. As Trent nears his dying breath, he is rescued by a mysterious group who have taken refuge in the abandoned structure. He discovers that the group has been communicating with the dead and after Trent flees in terror, he is sought out by their leader. They explain that Charon, Ferryman of the Styx, has been fiendishly denying countless souls’ access to the afterlife for millennia and that it is their duty to enable their passage. With nothing left to lose, Trent agrees to become a Child of the Styx and serve alongside them. The group works tirelessly to combat the greatest injustice mortals have ever faced. As hope emerges that their efforts may be boiling to a dramatic victory and an unlikely romance begins to flourish, a long kept secret threatens to destroy everything the group has ever worked for and risks tearing the very fabric of reality apart.
