A comedic fantasy about death, destiny, and dubious decision-making.
Bobert is not exactly a hero. He's not even a good farmer. Or blacksmith. Or healer. In fact, the only thing Bob's ever been good at is delivering food and staying out of trouble, which makes it especially inconvenient when he accidentally becomes the world's first necromancer in centuries.
After stumbling upon a mysterious tome and a talking skull in the cottage of the late Old Man Dark, Bob sets off a magical explosion, binds himself to a centuries-old lich named Morty, and begins an unwanted transformation into one of the undead. Whoops.
Now hunted by barbarians, overly enthusiastic paladins, and at least one enraged necromantic spirit with world-domination aspirations, Bob must figure out how to read the book, control his powers, and maybe - just maybe - stop the end of the world. Or at least his part in it.
Joined by:
a disillusioned goblin butler,
a rebellious skeletal squirrel,
and Morty, his very annoyed undead mentor,
Bob sets out on a journey involving haunted festivals, lair hunting, surprise resurrections, and real estate agents with opinions about swamp property.
Life's a Lich is a satirical romp through classic fantasy tropes, perfect for fans of Discworld, Good Omens, and anyone who's ever wondered what would happen if the Chosen One was more Oops than Ah-ha!
