As a necromancer, Benoni has plenty of experience with raising the dead, wrangling angry ghosts, and hiding his powers—but he has no experience when it comes to love. As the youngest child of two deeply dysfunctional parents, Benoni learned how to make himself invisible. This became useful when he developed the reviled and illegal gift of necromancy. Now, he's haunted by a trio of unruly orcs, who constantly pester him about taking over the world, along with the ghost of his murdered brother, who, incidentally, is scared of other ghosts.

'Warm and wonderful . . . a fun and inventive play about found family and being your best self' SARAH BETH DURST 'Unbelievably charming . . . bury me in biscuits from Floor Gluttony; I'm not leaving' CASSIDY ELLIS SALTER Welcome to the Purgatory Hotel . . . where you must take your test and meet...

Within an hour of Bora's arrival in Arahasnor, she runs into her toxic ex-boyfriend, offends a malicious noblewoman, and narrowly escapes from the city guards. Never the type for adventures—unlike her sister, Holy Maiden Ysabel, who left the family farm and scandalously eloped with Dark Lord Kaine—Bora intends to quickly return home and settle back into her usual role as the plain, boring sister. That is, until there's a freak magical accident.

In a world where magical powers are commonplace, Holy Maiden Ysabel is revered as a goddess among her people. She's the only one able to heal the sick and injured with a simple touch. But her spectacular gift comes at a steep price. For each person she saves, she loses a day of her own conscripted life. To add insult to injury, she's supposed to maintain a pure image even though she'd rather drink and play dominatrix until her sorrows fade away.
