Using a strange, powerful mindweave, a fledgling necromancer creates a revenant deep within the Kriloris dungeon. Forged in Necronum runes and death magic, the monster is born with a mind more capable than anyone would imagine. 

Meet Risen. He's that monster—blessed with intelligence, strength, and unfortunately, necromantic reanimation. 

Risen won’t have it easy in the world of Sorcel. People don't like necromancers, and they really don't like the undead. Adventuring groups are out to murder him, trouble keeps following his master around—and the worst thing is that nobody wants to be friends.
