Necromancy Cottage · Or, the Black Art of Gnawing on Bones

Clover Isle is the best place that troubled runaway Casey Harris could ever hope to be. It's an isolated island in the middle of nowhere, so it's the perfect place to hide. She has plenty of new friends there, even if they're all rather strange, even if they paint protection hexes and hang dead fish from their doors at night, even if they eat tea leaves and hunt rattlesnakes. So what if Scott and Celia, the brother and sister pair who own the island's only diner, like to play with bones for fun? So what if Holly, the boy who Casey met in the forest, is a necromancer's apprentice? Nobody's perfect.

The island is ruled by Desmond Trauer, a powerful sorcerer, and cursed by a mysterious witch supposedly so dangerous that it's never safe to be outside after dark with her lurking in the distance, waiting for souls to steal... but Casey wants to change all that, leading to one eventful Halloween season full of black arts, sacrifice, dark rituals and witchcraft. Necromancy Cottage is the story of a world doused in magic, and the people who've decided to call it home.
