Life as a necromancer is never easy, but when the body of a ghost from my past turns up, inexplicably whole, very dead, and without a soul, I seriously reconsider my chosen profession. What good am I as a necromancer if I can't raise the dead? I might be a failure, but I'm still in high demand. The vampires want me to raise their progeny. The Lord of the Veil wants me to help him escape the veil. The police want me to continue solving their murder cases without giving me a pension. And Detective Connor Kang wants me, too. Just me. He makes the magic in my blood sing and now I know his true identity and what's in his heart. But as it turns out, Kang isn't the only person in my life harbouring a secret. I need to rescue a supernatural hostage, figure out who or what is capable of destroying souls, and somehow stay alive and out of the clutches of those who would seek to kill or use me. Mom raised me to follow five sacred rules to...

Death is a terrible power to wield......but I'll master the magic to save my family. Most people think my life as a certified necromancer is filled with raising the dead to resolve estate disputes and make the rich richer. And they're not wrong. But I've added illegal raisings and consulting with the police to my résumé. Normally, I ask the recently departed "whodunit" for the cops, but in a recent string of gruesome killings, the dead aren't helping. And while my consulting job is becoming a convoluted mess, the vampires think I'm key to untangling their problems. To complicate everything, I also keep getting sucked into the veil—the magical realm where spirits rest and a mysterious castle keeps appearing. All I want in life is to do my job, help my mom pay her medical bills and not murder a certain arrogant detective. But if I don't figure out how the murders, the veil and the vampires are...

When he takes a job to steal a magical item for a dark fae lord, he soon learns he's taken one bad job too many. Nothing is ever what it seems with the fae and this "item" will either prove to be his downfall or his salvation. Bear thought he'd finally found the way out of his life of crime, but has he signed his own death warrant instead?

Death Stealer

J. C. McKenzie
I'm not sure what I expected when I showed up to my first crime scene—certainly not rainbows and donuts—but as a necromancer who mainly works to help the rich get richer, I hoped to find redemption. Instead, I discover a heartbreaking murder, two detectives with a grumpy-sunshine dynamic, and a stubborn soul who refuses to speak without her cat present. If I'm going to prove myself as a valuable asset to the Victoria Police Department, and hopefully claw my mother out of medical hardship and the grip of her debilitating disease, I need to solve this mystery before I become the next victim. Death Stealer is a short story prequel to the Lark Morgan trilogy and takes place six years before Death Maker, Book 1 of the trilogy. This book contains explicit language, ghosts, spirits, souls, skeletons and bones, violence, blood magic, necromancy, and animal sacrifices (off-the-page as much as possible). This story is intended...
