An undead knight has escaped from his crypt and overrun a castle on the Arrowhead Islands (which lie east of the continent of Khul) from where he plans to begin a campaign of conquest with his army of zombies. The player is set the task of assassinating this Lich-Lord.

The book includes two references to Jamie Thomson's earlier book "Sword of the Samurai". At the beginning of the adventure the player can come across an inn called 'The Sword of the Samurai', and in Bloodrise Keep the player may find a halberd (most likely a naginata) which is described as originating from Hachiman, the setting of "Sword of the Samurai".
