Paladin from Afar

In the city of the dead, long destroyed and far beyond human civilization, there lives one human child. His name is Will, and he is brought up by three undead: the loving-warrior skeleton Blood; the elegant mummified priestess Mary; and a willful ghost, Gus. The three pour love into the boy—and teach him everything they know. But one beautiful day Will begins to wonder, “Who am I?”

Will will have to unravel the secrets of this dead land and dig up the past of the undead. He must learn love and mercy from the good gods—and fanaticism and madness from the bad ones. And when he studies all of this, the boy will be able to take his first step on the path to becoming a paladin.

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