Malfus: Necromancer Unchained
The Damned and the Dead Book 1
by Casey Sutton
Being a necromancer isn’t all it’s cracked up to be…
Malfus’s past has finally caught up with him. He’s a renegade, an outlaw, a necromancer. Now, he’s a prisoner…
He’s been captured by Inquisitor Deza, to be tried, tortured, and executed for his crimes. But they’re ambushed by half-hyena marauders, forcing them to take refuge with a heavily wounded battalion already under siege by the monsters.
Deza only cares about his mission. But another assault by the marauders would be a death sentence for the battalion. The only option remaining is to free Malfus and to raise an army of the dead.
But will the dead be enough to save the living?
REVIEW
5 out of 5
This was brilliant, dark, and captivating. Sutton did an amazing job bringing the characters and world to life, complete with the eerie half-hyena marauders who are more likely to send chills down your spine than Deza or Malfus. (Who knew necromancers could be so likable?) I have to say Malfus quickly became one of my favorite characters, he’s smart, determined, and refuses to admit defeat in the face of crazy odds. The action scenes will get your heart racing, and help keep the story moving forward smoothly. If you enjoy dark fantasy, you’re going to love this one!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
My name is Casey Sutton. I am a huge nerd and have been carrying books around with me since I was old enough to walk and carry things. I grew up immersed in fantasy worlds in books, video games, and playing Dungeons and Dragons with my friends. I was usually stuck being the Dungeon Master and creating imaginary worlds and characters for my friends.
I am an Army veteran, and have been to both Iraq and Afghanistan. I spent my time overseas reading fantasy books and dreaming about being a writer one day, but didn’t get the push to follow my dreams until a near-death experience in South Africa in 2018. I quit waiting around to write and started my book that night—in the hospital bed.
A bit more about me, I love cats and have four. I am also a self-taught mycologist and forage for wild mushrooms, and have grown my own! I still love video games and Dungeons and Dragons too!
I am the author of Malfus: Necromancer Unchained. It has been edited by an editor who has worked with Neil Gaiman, Brandon Sanderson, and Dan Abnett!
