Someone wants Catherine dead. Even worse - if possible - is that they also have two parts of the talisman she used during her days as the Lady of Death, which can turn even mundane items into powerful weapons. Long thought destroyed, someone has found the pieces, centuries later, and is determined to reassemble it.

Told from the perspectives of an ensemble of sinister and desperate characters - an assassin returning from his retirement as a medical college instructor; a young outlaw who fancies himself a lord; a master breeder and smuggler of narcotic beetles; a jaded mercenary captain; and more - it is the story of an expedition to a destroyed city to retrieve a relic on behalf of a mad emperor.

In her younger years, Catherine Woulfe was known as the Lady of Death...but those days are long past. Now, at over 300 years old, she is older, wiser...and painfully dull. Instead of using her necromancy skills for things like killing people and taking over governments, she now works as a private investigator, helping people find their lost treasures.
