Death has died. Now, nothing else can.

After the necromancer Barkolt challenged Mortos, the God of Death for his power, three terrible truths were discovered. The first: even gods can be killed. The second: mortal bodies are incapable of housing the divine might of gods. The third: without Mortos’s angels, the reapers, to sever the souls of the deceased from the their mortal shells, the dead cannot stay dead.

Following the collapse of her nation’s first line of defense against the undead hordes, Crown Princess Cinna of Selkarc stumbles upon one of the last living necromancers, an apprentice named Lilia. Lilia’s master gave her one final command before being taken by the mob: do not reveal that you are a necromancer to anyone, under any circumstances.

Now the fate of the world depends on Cinna’s ability to win Lilia’s trust, and possibly the peoples’ ability to believe in the good intentions of one of the very necromancers they blame for its looming end.
