Saga Of The Noble Dead
The Noble Dead Saga written by Barb and J.C. Hendee is a set of chronological books in series/phases, and chronological series/phases in a "saga" that tells the story of protagonists drawn together in a struggle against the little known and little believed-in Noble Dead that herald the return of a long forgotten age in fantasy world. It begins with an unlikely trio (only a subset of all those who become involved) drawn together as charlatans who use their skills (and perhaps unknowingly their secret talents) to cheat peasants by the common superstitions concerning the undead. Soon enough they find that not all superstitions are completely false; the bits of truth they hold could lead to something far worse that has been long forgotten.

Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or dead:
“The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us. Let us spend our lives in conceiving then. The poet or the artist never yet had so fair and noble a design but some of his posterity at least could accomplish it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You can never betray the people who are dead, so you go on being a public Jew; the dead can’t answer slurs, but I’m here. I would love to think that Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, but he doesn’t.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)
