Lance embarks on an epic quest to prove himself before the king's men, to find the secret passage to the underground, to brave intense trials, to battle hideous monsters, and to get her back.Meanwhile, up above, with the king distracted and betrayed, a once-impregnable kingdom is crumbling, as enemies on all sides close in. Only a hardened girl thief, an unlikely hero, stands a chance of saving it all.SWORD OF THE DEAD weaves an epic tale of fate and destiny, of magic and love, of sacrifice and power.
