    About this ebook

    Emris Winters has been around a long time, long enough that she no longer even lets her cousin use the name she was born with. Long enough that she *shouldn't* still be here.

    A budding necromancer has discovered her particular vulnerabilities.

    Emris is still sane despite the centuries, but she's starting to regret that.

      York, October 1644 Before I’ve even mustered the courage to knock, the door to the townhouse flings open. I drop my hand. “It is me, John Falmouth,” I say and wince at how loud my voice carries into the night. My greeting falters when I look up and n

      This is a work of fiction. People, places, and events are made up; any that aren’t made up have all been processed through the shredder of the author’s imagination, and therefore bear only superficial resemblance to their originals, at best.
