And gone with it the mighty Mage Ebenezum's hopes of a cure for his malady of magicks.Now a champion must be found to descend into the depths of the Netherhells; a hero brave and bold - and expendable!

For Wunt has caught the cold eye of Death himself, who seeks to add the Eternal Apprentice to the ranks of his morbid minions. To lure the lad to his dread domain, the Relentless Reaper has captured the wizard in his grim grasp. Now, if the Fates (Mary Jane, Victoria and Hortense) allow, Wunt will strike out for Death's Kingdom, to engage the Spooky Spectre in strange and noisy contests, so that Ebenezeum might be spared. But Wunt must walk the alleys and lanes of the Afterlife with caution, lest he stumble into a gutter and lose Death's game... permanently.
