Details

Born the unfortunate 13th child of a poor peasant, Tod is doomed to die of starvation, if the plague doesn't get him first, until his enterprising mother enlists the services of a benevolent godfather - Death. Upon coming of age, Tod enters a pact with Death that brings him riches and fame beyond his wildest imaginings. Even so, Tod, like us all, wants just a little more. When Death is your godfather, dare you cheat him? Set in a plague infested town where Kings still rule, Princesses stare longingly out of high windows and an enchanted forest holds the secrets of life and death; quirky characters and a touch of medieval mayhem breathe life into this very grown up fairytale of betrayal, greed and the ultimate justice.
