Description:

Jakob was only seven when he was kidnapped and dragged into the sewers of Helmsgarten by the creature calling himself "Grandfather." For seven agonizing years, he was taught the vile craft of fleshcrafting, a horrific art of vivisection and reanimation. With his education complete, Jakob is let loose upon the city with one vague command: create the ultimate being.
Raised in the suffocating darkness of the city's underbelly, Jakob is now an apprentice of a dark and forbidden art, navigating a world he's never known with nothing but the stitched-flesh robes on his body and his loyal wight, Heskel. He must build his own laboratory, hunt for materials in the city's dark corners, and dodge the Kingdom's justice.
As his creations grow more elaborate, Jakob's journey leads him into conflicts with demons, corrupt guilds, and the very nightmares of his own creation. Many who underestimate this cruel and gifted boy suffer eternally for their arrogance.
In the end, even his mentor must face the terrifying realization that his greatest creation has surpassed him, and has a new purpose all his own.
