THE NECROMANCER'S INNKEEPER; In a fog-choked harbour city where the dead walk beside the living, the Tidewatch Inn stands as neutral ground.
Mara Voss has spent twelve years protecting it. A peace-binding necromancer, she doesn’t command the dead—she listens, offering sanctuary to ghosts and fragile truces to rival practitioners. But when the wards beneath the inn begin to fail, something ancient stirs—and the dead are afraid.
Aldric Crane, a relentless investigator, is sent to decide if the inn should be destroyed. He believes in order. Mara believes in trust.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, they must uncover a buried truth before a crumbling treaty unleashes chaos. As tension rises and secrets surface, Mara must save her home—and Aldric must choose between duty and the woman changing everything he thought he knew about death.
Welcome to Tidewatch Inn. The dead are already checked in.
