Raising the dead is the easy part.
It's the living who make things difficult.
Necromancy isn't about dark rituals or raising armies of the dead. It's paperwork. As a certified professional, I spend most of my time navigating regulations and raising the recently departed to settle inheritance disputes. It's a mundane job until the police bring me a case unlike anything I've handled before.
Usually, solving a murder is simple. I raise the victim, ask who did it, and let the police handle the rest. But now someone is leaving behind a trail of brutal killings and the dead aren't giving me answers.
While the investigation grows more complicated, the local vampires insist they need my help and offer a dangerous deal I can't refuse. Their secrets lead me to the Veil, where spirits rest and a mysterious castle keeps appearing.
I just want to earn enough to help my mom pay her medical bills, keep my less-than-legal work hidden from the cops, and avoid strangling one infuriatingly arrogant detective. Instead, I'm caught between a murder case, vampire politics, and a mystery buried deep within the Veil. If I can't figure out how these strange new problems connect, I'll go from making sacrifices to becoming one.
A deliciously dark urban fantasy tale with a flawed necromancer trying to survive a harsh supernatural world by international bestselling author J. C. McKenzie.
