Story
When a person faces an unjustified death, their soul cannot find rest. These restless spirits transform into horrifying beings known as the Unresting. To banish an Unresting, the soul must be re-executed—killed once more. When hordes of the Unresting gather, a re-executor is summoned. Re-executors are warriors specially trained to eliminate the Unresting, wielding weapons made from human bones, believed to be most effective against these restless horrors. The land of Liandra is on the brink of being overrun by the Unresting. A skilled re-executor named Ivona is sent to cleanse the land. However, shortly after her arrival, she disappears. As the Unresting swarm the land, a new re-executor called Noose arrives. Armed with a whip made from human spines, Noose sets out on a mission—to finish the re-execution and find Ivona.
