Ingvar Svensson

About

Beneath a scholar's facade of meticulous research, Ingvar Svensson harbors a necromantic obsession: reconstructing lost histories through the whispered secrets of the dead. His collection of antique keys—each stolen from a tomb he's resurrected—maps a cartography of forgotten memories, where silence becomes his most eloquent language.

Backstory

Nobody expected the royal librarian's apprentice to steal the Crown Prince's funeral shroud, but Ingvar Svensson needed answers only the dead could provide. Three days after burying his mentor Elara—the kingdom's most trusted court scholar by day, forbidden necromancer by night—he discovered her research into an ancient plague that had consumed entire bloodlines, leaving only cryptic warnings carved into royal tomb keys. The whispered incantations she'd taught him as "historical pronunciation exercises" suddenly revealed their true purpose when the prince's shade rose from his silk wrappings, speaking in the same forgotten tongue that now echoed endlessly in Ingvar's mind. Each grave he's opened since carries another piece of Elara's scattered investigation, another key to understanding why she vanished the night before the current plague's first victim fell ill in the castle.
