Maud discovers herself transformed into a lich after a failed necromantic sacrifice on her village. Despite becoming a powerful undead creature with compulsions to raise minions, Maud retains her cozy personality—she loves knitting, gardening, and crafting. Now she crafts with corpses and creates potions from undead ingredients while facing heroes, holy clerics, and nosy neighbors. Five books blend deadpan comedy with genuine stakes in a grisly slice-of-life progression fantasy.
