You are a necromancer – and sometimes, a detective – in the imperial-occupied colony of Ashokha, using your power to commune with the dead to solve murders. Your latest mark? One of the empire's elite sorcerers, dead from a sudden fall. None of the living can agree on what happened to him, so it's your job to uncover the truth by going straight to the source: the victim himself. Can you catch the killer before the sorcerer's soul fades away?
