Alaric von Mertz has lost everything to the zombie hordes. His family, his home, his legacy. But one thing might still remain: his honour.

Teaming with an unlikely group of survivors – a thief, a witch-hunter, and a novice wizard – he sets out to track down the necromancer responsible for the terrible plague that not only killed his parents, but brought them back as part of the shambling, ravenous undead.

But there’s plenty of obstacles along the way, and others soon fall into step with Alaric and his curious comrades. And with all the bloodshed around them and a growing community to protect, Alaric faces a difficult decision: at what point does he draw the line between vengeance for his family and his sworn duty as a knight to protect those in need?
