From the back of the book: Preparation for the afterlife is a time consuming and meticulous task, and one that must be done properly to ensure proper passage from the world of the living to world of the dead. But that preparation pales in comparison to the arduous journey through the afterlife where a misstep can land one in everlasting oblivion. From the history of that ancient text to the magic that guided it, the Book of the Dead opens new worlds for the gaming table. With spells that range from care of the dead to the Shadow Runes from Rune Lore, magic items, and a guide through the afterlife, the Book of the Dead unleashes a whole new world of possibilities.
