The Archer of the Monster Forest

In a city of the dead, long destroyed and far from human civilization, lives a single human child. His name is Will, and he is raised by three undead: Heart the skeleton warrior; Mary, an elegant mummified priestess; and Gas, a mischievous ghost. The three pour love into the boy and teach him everything they themselves know. But one beautiful day Will begins to wonder: “Who am I?”

Will must unravel the secrets of this dead land and dig up the undead’s past. He must learn love and mercy from kind gods, and fanaticism and madness from the bad ones. And once he has studied all of that, the boy will be able to take his first step along the path to becoming a paladin.

“I promised you. It will take some time, but I’ll tell you everything. This story is about the deaths of many heroes. It’s the story of how we died—and the reason you grew up here.”
