Lanie Stones grew up isolated in a decaying mansion, raised by a revenant servant. Her parents served the crown as official executioners, but Lanie inherited their necromantic abilities alongside a strange allergy to violence. When assassins kill her parents, Lanie and her unhinged sister Nita face crushing debts that threaten their ancestral home. The kingdom of Liriat plunges into chaos after someone murders the ruler, leaving enemies circling the nation like vultures. Lanie must navigate vengeful family spirits, pursue a forbidden romance with a childhood friend, and dodge those who hunt her family. She has necromancy on her side, plus the favor of Death herself, but survival will demand more than magical gifts.
