Our main character, Zora, is a necromancer. Her feelings and history around this are very complicated. She ends up meeting a witch, Birdie, who introduces her to an all Black magical community. Zora has never been part of a community so it is both a blessing and a challenge as there are different personalities and abilities to contend with. Zora tries to solve a murder within the community while also trying to decide if she wants to stay as a part of this community. I love the queer representation in this book.
