The kingdom is in need of heroes. Orc warbands raid the countryside and dragons plunder the wealth of empires while commoners beg the gods for salvation each and every night. Beleaguered and without hope, the king, in desperate need of the greatest warriors and wizards of the age, believes he has found the men to stem the tide of darkness and save them all. What he gets are the itinerant necromancer Mortelekai and the reluctant mage Rand, both prepared to fight for king and country for very different reasons. Join these two as they set out to protect the kingdom and wage a two-man war against the hordes of evil, leaving no orc standing and no gold coin unclaimed in their efforts to save the kingdom and stay alive in spite of each other's best efforts.
