YOUR DEATH IS NOT YOUR OWN is an adult necromantic fantasy combining an f/f take on NBC’s Hannibal with the death magic of Kerstin Hall’s ASUNDER. It's a heart-worming tale of belonging and the dangers of falling in love with an undead sociopath #A #F #H #QueerPit

Fostered to the gamblers and cheats of Vegas House as a young child, Jona has little experience with the dead who plot against the living or the necromancers who fight them. But when she learns that Madai, her long-estranged father figure and legendary necromancer, has violated their culture’s greatest taboo and returned from death, Jona knows she must discover what happened to him.
Jona makes Madai’s younger sister, Renee-Lois, her first ally and falls unexpectedly in love. Renee-Lois encourages Jona to accept the darker parts of herself: her forbidden magic and her strange empathy with the dead. What Jona doesn’t know is that Madai’s sister has been dead for a long time and her body is being animated by the Godqueen of the Kingdom of the Dead, working to turn Jona’s home into her personal meat locker.
By the time Jona discovers Renee-Lois’ true identity, the Godqueen holds all the cards. There’s no honest chance of winning. But Jona is a Vegas trickster at heart and at every other suit–and she’s never played honestly.
