Welcome to the wild west. It’s a little different than you might think.

Necromancers are in high demand. There’s a lot of people who want the dead revived to work off the debts they owed, and slave labor like that is a cheaper avenue than creating a “patchwork”—otherwise known as a Frankenstein’s monster.

But Necromancer Haze isn’t interested in using his power to magic the dead back to life. He and his gun-toting zombie partner in crime, Ern Shining, are far more interested in their next heist. But when their plan goes wrong, they find themselves on the run from Ellie, a childlike Patchwork bounty hunter, and end up in the small town of Crossroads—which appears to be the perfect place to hide.

But not everything is as it seems in Crossroads. Forced by the mayor to serve as the town’s resident necromancer while tutoring the bookish Savanna Page—the previous necromancer’s apprentice—Haze is more than a little annoyed.

When things move from annoying to dangerous, Haze and his eclectic new crew have to prepare to battle a threat that endangers both the living and the dead.
