Synopsis

In a wood at the edge of the world, Aspin of Asperine frees a god from an imprisonment that was to have lasted ten thousand years. In return for his freedom, the god gifts this poor mercenary's son the secret of the Word of the Dead. But for Aspin and the world he lives in, this one Word will tear open long forgotten wounds. For the necromancers of old were hunted down and destroyed by the Seers, and the Conclave has not forgotten their great crusade...

About this title

From the Inside Flap

In a world of Dark Seers and Thaumaturgists, where the dead walk and demons possess the living to rule over a bloody empire, a young man called Aspin comes across a god bound to the forest floor. Aspin frees the god, and in return claims the Word of the Dead, but in doing so, he sets in motion events which will rip the world apart.

For the Seers of the Southern Protectorates destroyed the last of the necromancers centuries before, and they will not stand idly by as Aspin threatens to bring back the forgotten discipline, and even if Aspin survives the machinations of the Seers, how can he withstand the power and might of the Demon-Duke who has already conquered half the known world?
