About this ebook

An original e-novella based on the bestselling video game!

Morbed is a thief and a survivor, and his skills in both roles are about to be put to the ultimate test. Joining together with a wizard, a druid, a necromancer, and a crusader, Morbed has arrived at a remote island to track down an elusive vagabond andreclaim valuable items pilfered from the city of Westmarch.

But there is something loose on the island, something that has killed and is very close to killing again. In order to leave the island alive, Morbed will be forced to confront not only the terrifying creature that stalks the forests, but the darkest corners of his own spirit as well.

Ratings and reviews

An action packed island romp with little seeming connection to the story lines of the main Diablo 3 franchise. Morbed shows us a flawed but nearly working team living out the super-natural results of their choices. The memorable characters and morally grey plot allow for a lot of reader reflection.

Very short 68 pages I think maybe a little less. But the writing is solid, it reads more like a thriller then a fantasy novel but it does combine the two very nicely. Overall I don't think you need to be a Diablo fan to read this it was a pretty good short read! Though I am a pretty big fan of the game so take what you will from this.

A clumsy, short story that doesn't really warrant being part of the world of Sanctuary. I did not enjoy the writing style, either.
