      The first in an exciting new series of heroic fantasy novels, Zachareth explores the past of one of Descent: Legends of the Dark's most notorious villains Zachareth, Baron of Carthridge, is a driven, ruthless, and obsessive man-a man who could be a hero, but he wants so much more. Having watched his father fall under the sway of a sorceress, Zachareth grows up craving knowledge and power. When his tutor at Greyhaven introduces him to forbidden magics, Zachareth discovers there is more to power than meets the eye. As he returns home to a barony on the verge of rebellion and beset by necromantic foes, Zachareth must choose his true path-the path of virtue and heroism, or that of darkness and villany; the line between the two is finer than most imagine.

      Legendary heroes battle the undead and dark sorcery, in the first of a rip-roaring new series for the fan-favorite epic fantasy game, Descent. When the Baroness of Forthyn's daughter disappears, she calls on the legendary orc hero, Durik, to find her. Durik enlists his old questing partners-the dwarf alchemist, Ulma Grimstone, and roguish Logan Lashley-in the hopes of reliving their glory days. Together they journey to fearstruck Fallowhearth. There, instead of clues, they uncover necromancy: graveyards emptied of corpses, with trails of footprints leading into sinister Blind Muir Forest . . . But the forest holds more than just the walking dead: between its boughs lurk treachery, a sorcerous ally turned to darkness, and a shocking infestation of giant, murderous monsters.
