Synopsis[]
Life is good for Bobbie in the sleepy village of Plaintown. Sure, her villager parents only ever say βHrm,β but you pick up the local language quickly. And maybe her little brother, Johnny, is always getting into trouble, but the villageβs iron golem is there to look out for him. And, yeah, things are too busy for exploring when youβre the only one in town who ever takes their hands out of their sleeves. But maybe thatβs for the best. After all, there are things out there beyond the torchlight that are better handled by adventurers. But one night, a stranger comes to Plaintownβand heβs followed by a horde of ravenous zombies. Bobbieβs village is overrun, and her world is turned upside down.
Life is not so good for Ben, an adventurer with nothing left to his name but the armor on his back. When dawnβs light shows him an abandoned village, he sees it as a chance to pick through the wreckage and get himself back on track. What he wasnβt expecting to run into was a desperate girl with a baby zombie villager on a leash. Bobbie and Johnny are the only ones left... and her brotherβs a lot greener and a lot bitier than he was last night. Thereβs still some of Johnny rattling around the little monsterβs mind; Bobbie just knows it. And Ben might know a way to bring him back.
As the two journey across the Overworld, dragging Johnny along (literally), they brave dangerous depths, terrifying mobs, and an expanding mystery. Was the attack on Bobbieβs village really just bad luck? Where did the rest of the zombie villagers go? And how exactly do you take care of a little brother who canβt stop trying to eat you?[1]
