Synopsis of Saihate not a paladin

In a city of the dead, long ruined and far removed from human civilization, lives a single human child. His name is Will and he is raised by three undead: the powerful skeletal warrior Blood; the graceful mummified priestess Mary; and the curious spectral magician Gus. All three give love to the boy and teach him everything they know. But one day Will starts to wonder, “Who am I?”

Will must uncover the secrets of the distant land of death and uncover the secret past of the undead. He must learn the love and mercy of the good gods and the fanaticism and madness of the bad. And when he knows everything, the boy will take his first step towards becoming a paladin. “I promised you. It will take a while, but I’ll tell you everything. This is the story of the death of many heroes. It’s the story of how we died and it’s the reason you grew up here.”
