Villagers and animals are mysteriously disappearing from the coastal towns of the Cold Sea. The only ones who can restore peace are a necromancer, obsessed with bones and death, and a cunning thief who only cares about protecting his gold. The thief Senfra does not care about anyone or anything except a good night at the pub, certainly not about the people and animals rumored to be disappearing from the Cold Sea coast. But when Senfra's men rebel and steal his fortune, he finds himself on the Cursed Island, surrounded by dangerous, crossbreed creatures. Senfra's only ally is Toth, a necromancer reviled by society, and his army of undead skeletons. Together, they must face a master transmuter who has been combining animals and humans to create his own army of unearthly abominations.
