Elysia Mallory wants nothing to do with her magic, especially since the necromantic gifts running through her family have driven every previous bearer to madness. She has no wish to become another lost branch on the family tree. Then she learns that an ancestor who should be long gone is still walking the living world, using his rare power to take over the body of the Deacon, leader of the necromancer community. Elysia decides she must finally learn to control her inheritance. Can her gift help her undo a wrong that is centuries old, or will she end up a puppet under his command?
