Graverobber Blues
Lethal Weapon meets Frankenstein.
A necromage and a graverobber need to hunt down a magic-resistant zombie they accidentally set loose to avoid having their crimes discovered.
In 1880 Charleston, disguising herself as a man is only the start of what Wilhelmina Ashton must do to succeed in the Medical and Magical College of South Carolina. As a necromage, she needs something truly exceptional to satisfy her ambitions—such as a corpse that’s rumored to reanimate by itself.
With the hired help of Dirty Henry, a gruff graverobber, she sneaks into the cemetery to steal this unique cadaver. The lynch pin of their plan is Ashton’s magic, but at the crucial moment it has no effect on the revenant. Thrown into a desperate fight for survival against this malevolent undead creature, they must resort to extreme measures. Using a dangerous and poorly-understood spell, she and Dirty Henry barely manage to escape with their lives.
Now stuck within twenty feet of each other at all times as a result of the spell, the unlikely allies are forced to work together. It’s a heart-pounding race against time to stop the creature they let loose before it can slaughter the townsfolk. Or worse, fall into the scheming hands of Ashton's academic rival, Valois.
A Gaslamp Fantasy, Horror Comedy, Southern Gothic, Adventure with a sapphic MC and a unique magic system.
In 1878, a necromage disguised as a man runs away to make a name for herself in academia, despite a fierce rival and an alluring lady love interest.
When Wilhemina Ashton realizes that her father has no intention of allowing her to study for a degree in necromancy, she disguises herself as a man and runs off to make a name for herself. Luckily, the Medical and Magical College of Charleston is desperate for students after being all but destroyed during the Civil War and won't look too closely at her forged papers. Ashton must now face a fierce new academic rival, the ruthless and well-connected Frenchman, Valois. Not to mention the distracting temptations of a certain nursing student southern belle Ashton just can't seem to stay away from.
Ashton is determined to earn the respect of the academic community, no matter how many lies she has to tell, or hearts she has to break… or dead bodies she has to raise.
