The Principles of Necromancy, Volume 1

There is no such thing as magic. The City King has driven the barbarian hordes to the edge of the world - ushering in an age of reason and medicine. But in the dark woods beyond his reach, where the last pagans still keep their ancient ways, a single man of civilization is about to show the true meaning of "medical miracle." His goal: to overcome death itself. And god help the man or king who stands in his way. Behold the glorious and gut-wrenching work of Doctor Jakob Eyes, the world's first necromancer.
