Publisher's blurb: No, not that kind of fiend...UNDEAD fiends! Or are they friends? The Golden Lady, a masked hero whose deeds have spanned centuries, is gathering heroes to partake in a mysterious quest at the behest of an unknown benefactor, a benevolent human king thought dead for centuries. This king, now a sentient ghoul, rules over a kingdom of innocent individuals inflicted with the very same disease that infests his body. Forced to eat the brains of intelligent beings to maintain their own humanity, the ghouls have set their sights on the Svirfneblin, deep gnomes who have been raiding the surface and inflicting mass casualties for no known reason. Will the party save the ghouls from going feral by sacrificing their enemies? Will they instead save the svirfneblin from a fate worse than death?
