Publisher's Synopsis
A nameless undead awakens in an ancient crypt, and thus does the journey
begin. Drawn mysteriously toward the horizon, he ventures into a land of perils
beyond death. A once shining kingdom has been fractured, and mindless Hollows
prowl the dark corners. To see it united and restored, the old king must be
freed by his get-the youth Balarion. The undead and his companions, surviving
champions of the halcyon era, accompany Balaarion on this journey to release his
father, battling foes both monstrous and clever. Yet it is not their enemies
that give them doubt, it is their quest. Can a world so troubled truly be set
right again, or is it fated to vanish into the dark?
