Dreaming Down the Bones

Atlanta should have hundreds of necromancers, yet only one remains. Kezia Bernard, a necromancer who recently rescued a cult from the dark force that had been tormenting its members, is delighted to be invited to train under Evangeline Morris, a renowned practitioner and the city's last necromancer. Kezia also hopes Evangeline can help her with a sickness that strikes anyone who lingers too long in a necromancer's company.

That hope is shaken when a new threat wakes Evangeline's affliction, claiming one member of her household and leaving the others in peril. Kezia comes to believe that the same darkness that drained Atlanta of its necromancers is now closing in on Evangeline, and she has little time to stop a fate she considers unthinkable.

The true source of the danger proves more sinister than Kezia expected. The question is whether she can eradicate the contagion before it destroys her mentor, or whether even her own abilities will be powerless against the curse that hangs over necromancers.
