Overview: From New York Times bestselling author Susan Dennard comes a new tale of 1876 necromancy, perfect for fans of Emily Wilde or Veronica Speedwell… but with a few walking corspes thrown in.
It’s the start of the Gilded Age in Philadelphia, and Eleanor Fitt-broke, unmarried, and fluent in Shakespeare-has spent the last six years holding her family together. When her brilliant (but woefully hapless) brother fails to step off a train from New York again, Eleanor is prepared to be furious.
What she is not prepared for is her brother getting kidnapped by a necromancer.
As the Bard put it, O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!
Armed with a parasol and no money, Eleanor tracks down a ragtag team known as the Spirit-Hunters, who consist of an elegant theurgist, a woman with a baseball bat, and a (much too charming) engineer. In their company, Eleanor soon finds herself playing every role forbidden to a young lady of high society: investigator, liar, medium, thief.
Yet the closer she and the Spirit-Hunters get to the truth of the necromancer, the more Eleanor realizes that, while the walking dead might be brutal and frightening…
Sometimes it’s the living we ought to fear most.
