Hunter Ohner wanders the cursed lands, making magical deals and earning the life force he needs to survive, because he is a swart whose body is made of black magic and supported by bloody sorcery. Along the way, he meets many noble nobles and mad eccentrics from the kingdom of Sydheim, and also becomes the adoptive father of a carnivorous spider and the guardian of a mad princess who claims to come from another world, but is in fact the resurrected Queen of the Damned. But this is not the Hunter’s biggest problem - Morhaime is overrun by the living dead, who are waiting for the return of their mistress, and their army is constantly growing, because the only Path through Morhaime... is destroyed. Note: a collection of short stories for the Morheim series.
