SHE RAISES HELL. HE RAISES THE DEAD. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
When new recruit Helspira takes on the doomed mission that no other soldier wants, life—and death—start to get a little complicated. Helspira must play escort to Sikras—a frustratingly handsome necromancer with the power to raise the dead—as he attempts a mission that he’s failed twice before; stopping an undead army at the edges of the kingdom.
No one thinks he will succeed. Not even Sikras. But the more time the two spend together, the more they find they can imagine a brighter future. As secrets come out and the two grow closer—and Sikras’s lively skeleton companion Benjamin tries desperately not to be a third wheel—will Sikras’ and Helspira’s changing feelings for each other be enough to overcome the growing danger?
RAISE A GLASS. RAISE THE DEAD. JUST DON’T RAISE YOUR HOPES.

"Packed with sharp banter, highly original world building, and a self-deprecating hero aching for connection, this TikTok favorite delivers clever fantasy with a kick."Booklist
-
"A delightfully quirky mix of outrageous humor and heartfelt tenderness. Sikras and Helspira are a couple to die for!"Stephanie Burgis, author of Wooing the Witch Queen
-
"An irreverent romp that has charmed me entirely. Shiloh Briar has set the bar exceptionally high for fantasy debuts, with vibrant prose, characters who leap off the page, and a story that revels in the morbid and the absurd. Those who like their romantic fantasy injected with gruesomeness, hilarity, and tropes interrogated and inverted– this one's for you. Fans of Terry Pratchett and T. Kingfisher will adore this."Brigitte Knightley, author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy
