BLADE & BASTARD

Deep in the uncharted depths of the dungeon, someone finds a corpse that defies all logic. When Iarumas is brought back to life, he remembers nothing of his past, and now he makes a living by retrieving the bodies of fallen adventurers from the dungeon. Some can be revived-others are reduced to ash on the altar by a merciless god. Either way, Iarumas gets paid. His skills earn him wary respect, but most people shun him for his detached, businesslike approach to death. He prefers the company of the dead-until he crosses paths with Garbage, a wild, untamed swordswoman and the only survivor of a slaughtered party. With her at his side, Iarumas pushes further into the dungeon, searching for answers about his forgotten life while dodging monsters, traps, and the looming threat of a final, irreversible death.
