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:
“I’ll sing you a new ballad, and I’ll warrant it first-rate,
Of the days of that old gentleman who had that old estate;
When they spent the public money at a bountiful old rate
On ev’ry mistress, pimp, and scamp, at ev’ry noble gate,
In the fine old English Tory times;”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1890)
“The five kings count the dead but do not soften
The crusted wound nor stroke the brow;
A hand rules pity as a hand rules heaven;
Hands have no tears to flow.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
