The friendly neighborhood necromancer is back, and business is booming. Benny has settled into life at Lightroot Manor. He’s got his undead tortoise familiar Remy, a steady stream of jobs at the necromancy store, and a found family of eccentric masters and fellow apprentices who trust him to handle the dead all on his own.

What could possibly go wrong?

A contested will, for one thing. When a grieving family calls Benny in to settle a squabble over their late mother’s estate, a simple thirty-minute job turns into the kind of trouble that only a necromancer can handle.

Between mediating feuding siblings, dealing with a haunted grocery store, and leveling up his necromancy skills to earn his next ranking, Benny’s got his hands full. But no matter how the day goes, there’s always a warm kitchen table and familiar faces waiting back at the manor.

So pour yourself a drink, pull up a chair, and leave the real world behind for a while. Join Benny for another low-stakes, cozy adventure in a world where the dead need as much help as the livings.
