A young blacksmith named Morgan, living in the Middle Ages, is to embark on a life altering journey that will have him come face to face with Death multiple times, and survive, thus upsetting the balance of the universe. Death, who is responsible for maintaining the balance, must find a way to restore this balance without forsaking the laws that govern all, living and passed on.

The only outcome Death can see is to remove Morgan's soul, something that has never been done before, and make him something else, something that has never existed until that very moment, a Death Dealer. A being that is neither alive, nor dead, but with the ability to force a soul's departure from its body when its time is up, thereby restoring the balance, whilst still within the confounds of the eternal laws.

Morgan finds his way as a Death Dealer, learning from Death the skills and spells tasked, and bestowed upon him. Follow Morgan's tale through time as he discovers love, loss, anger and more.
