Friends. Magic. Swords. Death. And life (again).
Bethany is a minstrel, a wanderer, and a would-be hero seeking adventure. She's also a reviled necromancer, hated and hunted by all. To prove her magic isn't evil, Bethany needs help from a murderous mercenary, in other words, a friend.
Bethany is a minstrel with a heart full of adventure, a would-be hero determined to find a missing boy from the town of Llyne, and a friend to all woodland critters. But mostly the dead ones...because Bethany is also a necromancer. She's out to prove her magic isn't evil, and she'll need the help of a hot-headed, sword-swinging mercenary named Elissar—that is, she'll need the help of a friend.
Bethany and Elissar make their way to the city of Accrington. Well…Elissar drinks her way there, antagonizing the locals and losing all their coin in the process. As Elissar continues her binge in yet another tavern, Bethany searches Accrington for clues to the whereabouts of a rumored necromancer. Then some very scary men show up and take over the city.
