Five centuries after his murder at the hands of his liege lord and closest friend, a skeletal Orm Ironfist awakens to find himself torn from the peace of death. Raised by a desperate necromancer, Orm discovers a world transformed by betrayal and corruption. The realm of Alrutan has fallen under the shadow of a foreign empire whose legions spread the grace of their owl goddess with fire and sword.
As Orm seeks vengeance against the immortal king who betrayed him, he finds an unlikely ally in Bapharap, a fearsome Satyr who wages a one-man war against the tyranny that destroyed his people. Together they must unravel the connection between Orm's ancient enemy and the corruption consuming the land.
Some deaths are only the beginning.
