But fate has something different in mind.Finding himself somewhere he never dreamed he'd end up - even with his overactive imagination - Nicolas is instead thrust into the middle of a war whose outcome doesn't just impact life itself, but the afterlife too.Cut off from his companions, he needs to try and survive as enemies old and new surround him with a single goal - to make sure the only place he ends up is the grave.At least amongst the legions of the undead he may discover the answer to a burning question: Why does nothing in Etherius stay dead anymore?
