Steel and Bone

When he was very young, Lex Coaltreader went with his family to the main continent of Audlan, leaving behind their desolate home continent, the straylands, a bleak desert that spans the entire island. They fled to Audlan seeking a better life for themselves and their child. As Lex grew up in the Duessel Territories, an absolute monarchy split into five sub-regions for easier governance, he earned acclaim as a skilled mercenary and folk hero. Now he faces the greatest challenge of his career; he has been brought before the High Lord of his territories and tasked with taking out The Band of Laughing Skulls, a group of exiled knights-turned-necromancers who seek to overthrow the current High Lord. As Lex and his hand-picked group of ragtag warriors face down this new threat, they must find a way to kill those who have domain over death itself.
