In a kingdom where curses are traded like currency and even soup can kill you, one very unlucky thief named Corbin discovers he's been hexed with immortality. Sounds like a gift-until he realizes every time he dies, he wakes up hungrier, broker, and usually missing something important, like a toe. Determined to break the curse, Corbin falls in with Bella, a sharp-tongued witch stripped of her title, and Aldous, a knight so weighed down by guilt he apologizes to his enemies mid-battle. Add in Splinters, a stray cat who's far more than he seems, and their quest spirals into absurdity: from haunted tombs and pig stampedes, to farmer's markets full of homicidal geese, to a dragon in spectacles who serves tea and demands livestock receipts in triplicate.
