Kezia Bernard is a natural-born necromancer who comforts the dying, guiding them to their ancestors on the other side.

But a mage with a rare magical talent is preventing Kezia’s elderly aunt from dying, and Kezia has vowed to end his cruel manipulation of life, suffering, and death.

The only problem? The mage in question is already dead.

With hoodoo and death magic at her fingertips, a living mage would be no match for Kezia. But when life is used as a weapon, will necromancy be enough to lay the suffering to rest?
