A Necromancer's Guide to Grave Mistakes - Paperback

by Melissa Wright (Author)

Ellenora Morgrave has a problem letting go. When her emotions grow unruly, so does her magic, and the creatures she accidentally raises from the dead refuse to return to the grave. In a kingdom where necromancy exists solely to investigate crimes against the crown, Ella's undead family could spell her end. But when her father is murdered and her stepfamily stands to inherit not just his estate but his post as head necromancer, Ella must turn to investigations of her own.

Prince Silas has a problem hanging on. Over the years, he's gained a bit of a reputation. But as sole heir, he's used to the things he cares about being torn away, including the wild and slightly terrifying girl with a penchant for collecting wounded creatures he fell for in his youth. When his valet dies under suspicious circumstances and the palace guard can't be trusted, he knows just who to turn to.

Together, Ella and Silas dig up a conspiracy, old wounds, and the dead. But setting things right will test the walls they've built to protect themselves, and as Prince Silas realizes he's found something worth holding onto, Ella may be forced to finally let go.
