Backstory:
The daughter of high-powered defense attorneys, Darcy Graves grew up in a home where every conversation was a debate, argument, or negotiation. It was exhausting. But while her parents were often too busy meeting with clients or working on cases to bond with her, the dead were always there to listen.
Graves enjoyed her time in the cemetery. It was a quiet place to calm her thoughts and talk through her problems… but one day her 1-sided conversations started to change.
It began with a faint whisper. A woman’s voice that seemed to respond to Graves’ complaints. Intrigued, the teenager listened… and followed the voice’s instructions until it guided her to a lead lined box buried in Van Cortlandt Park. But while most high school students would freak out if they were to unearth a severed lich hand, Graves was certainly not most teens. The hand now free of its prison, the lich’s voice grew stronger… it had spent years looking to find a student she could pass her knowledge to, and Graves was eager to learn.
Now a fledgling necromancer, Darcy balances not only her homework at Blackmore Academy… but the demands of graveyard denizens, each of whom have their own unfinished business that they seek her aid in resolving.
