Necromancer: A Lefayne Page Series Dark Fantasy Origin Story
If only she’d known in death, she’d become extraordinary, she may have died a little sooner…
Mildred Polsted never questions her ability to communicate with the ghosts she feels a strange connection to. Those as unwelcome and invisible as herself. In fact, she has always envied their lack of feeling the bone chilling cold and gut-wrenching hunger pains, but most especially, their freedom.
Until death finds Mildred, and she finds her calling. Using her newfound abilities and an insatiable thirst for power, she wreaks havoc on Headquarters, home to all Keepers, the dealers of death. Even the most skilled Keepers with frightening powers of their own must decide whether to stay and fight or run and hide. Not even their Conductus, seer and leader, can foresee with certainty how it all will end.
Sometimes, a victim of life becomes a villain in death.
This story precedes the full-length novel, Conductus, the first in the Lefayne Page Series.
If you like Holly Black, Cassandra Clare, Kami Garcia, Dannika Dark, K.F. Breen, Faith Hunter, Kim Harrison, Shayne Silvers, and Rick Riordan, you’ll love this series.
“Dark and vividly woven short story, I would say in the YA paranormal/dark fantasy genre. Can’t wait to read Conductus and see what happens to Mildred, or as she demands to be called now, Rhiannon! I’m really interested to see Keepers in action, and I hope their roles get flushed out more in the next book.” -ARC reader

This is an intense introduction to the Lefayne Page universe. The origins of Rhiannon are both heartbreaking and horrifying. Great set up for the series.

Necromancer by A.R. Calhoun is such an amazing introduction to the Lefayne Page world. Every page is a page turn and has you begging for more (or reading the whole book in a sitting like me). The storyline was well written, and each character drives toward the plot in a really intense way. Great read.

One read & you're hooked
This origin story really whet the appetite. It introduces key characters and sets up the drive for the plot.
Does Millie deserve compassion? I've made my choice. I'll let you decide for yourself.
