Flyte Tenner lives on a farm, unsure of his parentage. In an attempt to learn more about his family, he has been learning magic, finding out what he can through trial and error. Sadly, the country he lives in is ruled by a king who fears magic enough to forbid it to any citizen. Flyte now waits in prison, his crime considered worthy for death.

After a failed coup, Ander Palenus shares a cell with Flyte. Naturally, he wants to escape before his own death sentence.

Soon after they meet in this poor situation, the world seems to crumble for a moment, and both are gifted an opportunity to finally gain the meager things they desire.

And all they would have to do to carve out their place in the world is fight their way through hordes of undead soldiers summoned by a powerful mage.

Any and (almost) all details in the book are subject to change.

I'm putting in The graphic violence tag just to be safe, I don't really think that anyone is going to be traumatized by what I write (at least, anyone but the characters in the story).
