Familiar and Flame

A Tombtown Novelette and Queer Necromancer Story

This novelette takes place after BOOKS & BONE and contains spoilers for it.

The Toothday festival is approaching, and Usther has finally caught Symphona, the girl of her dreams. She's everything Usther could want: beautiful, powerful, cruel — the whole package. But constantly being on guard for betrayal is putting a strain on their relationship, as is Symphona's jealousy of Usther's only real friend.

And then there's the matter of the mean little cat Usther can't bring herself to kill …

On this, the unholiest day of the year, Usther will have to choose what kind of necromancer she really wants to be.
