A kingdom torn by war. A curse whispered by dying lips. A hero born against his will.

Khirro was content to live out his days as a farmer in a peaceful corner of the kingdom far from the front lines of the war. But fate had other plans.

When a shaman’s curse binds him to the fallen king, Khirro must leave behind his quiet life and embark on a perilous journey to save the kingdom from the undead army threatening to destroy it.

If he survives.

Driven by the mage’s dying words, Khirro bears a vial of the king’s blood. His destination: the necromancer’s keep in the cursed land of Lakesh. Only the mysterious outlaw magician can raise the king to save them all, but can Khirro overcome his fear and doubt to deliver the vial and become the his country needs?

Can a coward save a kingdom?
