A Songs For The Dead story: Bethany, the necromancer with a heart of gold, and Elissar, her prone-to-brawling companion, are off to find the Covenant--a sanctuary for Bethany's otherwise reviled magic. Unfortunately, their map makes no sense. Seeking the help of a young wizard named Jonas, whose knowledge may unravel the map's secrets, Bethany and Elissar discover a mysterious illness plaguing The Foggard temple, home to the ancient order of mages. Double-unfortunately, Bethany and Elissar are not on the best of terms following the recent and violent encounter at Boulder's Envy.
After this first issue, youll likely want to go ahead and read the previous series because between Bethany and the Foggards and the complex questions brought on early, youll not want to miss the world this creative team has built. Read Full Review

The world feels lived in and as though it has history. There's a bit of information dump and only a modest amount of action, but I think it's promising. Read Full Review
