Hopeless Necromantic is the first book in Shiloh Briar's The Catseye Chronicles, an adult fantasy romance with dark humor. New recruit Helspira is assigned to escort Sikras, a charming but disgraced necromancer, on a mission everyone expects to fail: stopping an undead army threatening the kingdom. As the pair travel together, uncover dangerous secrets, and grow closer despite their clashing personalities, they discover that saving the realm may require confronting Sikras's haunted past—and the mistakes that helped create the very threat they're trying to stop. Along the way, they're joined by Benjamin, Sikras's witty skeleton companion, adding plenty of humor to the adventure.
