This is like one of those Boschean nightmare canvases come to life, except it's a woman, a queer mercenary, and her daughter fighting to survive, retrieve stolen artifacts, and, for fun, a mild farce about inheritance law and what happens when the shitty dude who hid money from you tries to go and give it to his new undead master, and you'd maybe like that to be able to surive, please and thank you. The best kind of medieval farce with a side of trying to survive as your city is under siege. Definitely worth your time.
