As the world is torn apart by The War of the Damned, can one good necromancer turn the tide for the living? A tale reminiscent of Dungeons & Dragons, infused with a captivating blend of whimsy and darkness. Gazlan quests to save ensnared souls and stop the necromancers from killing the world in their devastating war. But he can't do it alone . . . He assembles an unlikely group of allies: a druid who can puppeteer the dead, a paladin who relies on gadgets and brute force, and a disabled archer with a modified bow. They all have a personal drive to stop the necromancers, and may turn on Gazlan at any moment for what he is, even as he comes to love them . . . Can Gazlan earn the trust of his new allies-and his new love-while battling the Necromancing Warlords? Find out by reading Necromancing The Rose, the first novella of the Whim-Dark Tales!
