The first arc of the Noble Dead Saga introduces Magiere, a dhampir who makes her living pretending to slay vampires in village cons. When real undead creatures appear, she is forced into actual monster hunting alongside her half-elf partner Leesil and a mysterious fay dog named Chap.

This arc spans multiple books and establishes the world, magic system, and central conflicts that carry through the later sagas. Barb and J.C. Hendee built out an original fantasy setting with its own history and mythology, and the first saga lays the groundwork for everything that follows.
