Synopsis

In a fantasy realm shattered by the zombie apocalypse, a bold Knight must enlist unlikely allies while discovering the source of undead corruption, in this darkly humorous adventure from the bestselling game range, Zombicide: Black Plague

When Knight Alaric von Mertz loses his family to a ravenous zombie horde, he swears revenge on the necromancer responsible. But a quest for vengeance is no easy matter in a world overrun by the walking dead. Joined by a sharp-tongued rogue, a witch hunter with secret knowledge, a novice wizard, and a dwarf demolition master, Alaric's journey leads him from magical fire moats to the zombie-ridden catacombs of the witch hunters to uncover a spell book of insurmountable power. As zombies claw and bite, Alaric fears he will never avenge his family. For in this age of the undead, betrayal and magic lurk around every corner, spelling either doom or salvation for them all.

I didn’t care for it much. Very little tension despite being filled with zombies. I didn’t care much about the survivors. HATED the character Ratbag and his rumpuz dialogue. Despite being a fan of the game, the book was a chore.......more

Goodreads review by Charlie on January 05, 2024

Quality hack and slash, sword and sorcery at its best! I love the game this book is based on, so the world building was quick to grasp and the rules of the realm felt natural. I enjoyed the characters and their growth which surprised me, as the game is a beer and pretzels co-op. Werner struck gold w......more
