Aelis de Lenti, Lone Pine's newly assigned Warden, is in deep trouble. She has just opened the crypts of Mahlgren, releasing an army of the undead into the unprotected backwoods of Ystain.

To protect her village, she must unearth a source of immense Necromantic power at the heart of Mahlgren. The journey will wind through waves of undead, untamed wilderness, and curses far older than anything Aelis has ever encountered. But as strong as Aelis is, this is one quest she cannot face alone.

Along with the brilliant mercenary she's fallen for, her half-orc friend, and a dwarven merchant, Aelis must race the clock to unravel mysteries, slay dread creatures, and stop what she has set in motion before the flames of a bloody war are re-ignited.

Great Fantasy Series

I remember liking the first book several years ago, but wasn't in the headspace to pick up a book about a necromancer protagonist.

Glad I waited until I was ready. This book is a more tight tale than the first one. The first is more a series of happenings to set up the worldbuilding, but this was largely one solid tail.

The cover can tell you more about the story, but female protagonist, necromancer, one woman arm of the government and a surgeon, interesting misfit cast, and sapphic romance.

Good books.
