Publisher's summary

When a young necromancer stumbles into an adventuring party, he embarks on a year of danger and discovery that challenges him at every turn.

Jeremiah Thorn is a necromancer who knows almost nothing about his calling—except that, though he's just trying to survive, most people consider his magic to be the worst kind of evil. While attempting to explore a dungeon in hopes of claiming treasure, he instead finds a quirky band of professional adventurers who agree to include him in their quests, believing him to be simply a beginner.

With his peculiar toad familiar by his side, Jeremiah quickly learns to rely on new companions: human and half-elf alike. But despite his kindness and good attitude, his taboo power over the dead is soon exposed. Condemned to prison with only a slight chance of proving himself a worthy citizen, he faces a powerful elf named Vivica, a mysterious and nihilistic creature who's more than she seems....

In the days that follow, everything Jeremiah believes is called into question. Thrust into one terrifying situation after another—from hard labor to a battle with a barbarian army—he finds his idealistic worldview shaken and his simple ideas of the nature of good and evil shattered, possibly forever.

Full of breathtaking exploits peppered with humor, The Necromancer's End is the first book in an adventure series that's perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

The first volume of the hit fantasy-adventure series—with more than 250,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

The single greatest book ever written

But I might be biased cause I wrote it. But my mom assures me that I'm right!

If you are a D&D fan, this book is for you!

As a long-time D&D player, I felt right at home while listening to this novel. We, as players, recently realized that not all bugbears and goblins are evil. The author challenges the notion that all Necromancers are evil. I very much enjoyed the party dynamics in this book and the nuance to the magic as the MC learns the ropes. I highly recommend this book.

Good campy fun

Not overly gory, funny and fun, with a few surprises. Just an adventure with an unexpected protagonist.

An absolute blast of a ride!

I just finished the audio book and I really enjoyed it start to finish. Felt very much like an incredible D&D adventure with good plot twists and fun characters.

The narration in the audio book was very good. Distinct characterization and great quality overall.

I want to see more of these characters. In particular I enjoyed Bruno and Deliliah two of the secondary characters who have well developed and fun personalities in very different ways. I am excited to see more development in Jeremiah as he continues on his journey. Being a necromancer and a sympathetic lead character is hard to do but he does it. Also Jeremiah’s mentor Flusoh is the absolute best minor character.

I will definitely be reading the rest of the series when it comes out!
