When bodies go lacking from your cemetery, Lincoln as well as the Ministry of Curiosities investigate. However, not Charlie. As a housemaid at Lichfield Towers, she doesn’t get involved in Ministry business.

Rather, she conducts investigations of her personal. She searches for details about her real mother, and makes questions into Lincoln’s background. What she learns has the capacity to destroy the fragile trust they’ve constructed, or provide them closer together.

As secrets are revealed, and investigations don’t move as planned, Charlie sees her necromancy sucking her into a whirlpool filled with betrayal, lies and danger that could jeopardize her friendships and her house.
