I’ve always been the black sheep of the family—the weird goth girl who had an obsession with the dead. So when I left home for college with a major in science, no one should have been surprised.

We keep in touch but haven’t seen each other in years. Until she shows up on campus, covered in blood, asking for help. ‘Cause, where else do you go to find a safe haven when you’ve got a body to get rid of other than a morgue, putting all my hard work at risk.

Now I have a choice to make: Help the Royal Harlots and become one of them, or pick out a coffin cause this ain’t a family you can walk away from.
