In a city of the dead, long since ruined and far from human
civilization, lives a single human child. His name is Will, and he's
being raised by three undead: the hearty skeletal warrior, Blood; the
graceful mummified priestess, Mary; and the crotchety spectral sorcerer,
Gus. The three pour love into the boy, and teach him all they know. But
one day, Will starts to wonder: "Who am I?"
Will must unravel the mysteries of this faraway dead man's land, and
unearth the secret pasts of the undead. He must learn the love and mercy
of the good gods, and the bigotry and madness of the bad. And when he
knows it all, the boy will take his first step on the path to becoming a
Paladin.
"I promised you. It's gonna take a while, but I'll tell you everything.
This is the story of the deaths of many heroes. It's the story of how we
died, and it's the reason you grew up here."
