Many people are born with magic. Tao's happens to be the kind that will get them killed.
Tao never had a choice about their power. Unfortunately, necromancy is punishable by death. No one can ever know the truth, but it's fine--they can handle it. They keep their head down, make friends at the tattoo studio where they work, and stay out of trouble.
Then trouble finds them and turns their quiet life upside down. Tao stumbles onto the scene of a crime--a crime where someone committed murder and then brought the victim back to life--and meets a boy who slips through their carefully constructed defenses, all in the same day.
Tao can't help but agree to a date with Adam, the boy with the freckles. Just one date before Tao says goodbye--because Tao has to track down the other necromancer, and it might be the last thing they ever do.
But Adam knows more about necromancers than Tao ever suspected--including how to kill one. If they're going to solve this murder and get out alive and undiscovered, Tao's going to need his help....
