When the baroness of Forthyn's daughter disappears, she calls on the legendary orc hero Durik to find her. Durik enlists his old questing partners - the dwarf alchemist Ulma Grimstone and roguish Logan Lashley - in the hopes of reliving their glory days. Together they journey to fear-struck Fallowhearth. There, instead of clues, they uncover necromancy: graveyards emptied of corpses, with trails of footprints leading into sinister Blind Muir Forest.... But the forest holds more than just the walking dead.

Als die Tochter der Baronin von Forthyn verschwindet, bittet diese den legendären Orkhelden Durik, sie wiederzufinden. Durik rekrutiert seine alten Kampfgefährten und gemeinsam reisen sie ins furchtgeplagte Falbhain. Doch statt Hinweise auf den Verbleib der jungen Adligen finden sie Anzeichen von Nekromantie: Auf den Friedhöfen sind die Toten verschwunden und Fußspuren führen in den verderbten Trübwasserwald.

Waiqar, Lord of the Mistlands, is a necromancer of supreme power, arrogance, and skill. Driven by his hunger for power, he has the whole of Terrinoth in his sights. But before he can raise his undead armies and march on the Baronies, his hold on the Mistlands must be complete. Waiqar's court is rife with scheming and deception, from corrupt vampires with plans to usurp him, to an apprentice harboring dark ambition of his own. As his enemies vie for power, Waiqar's own plans come to fruition. For power is hard won but easily lost, and this great necromancer has more to lose than anyone.
