The Necromancers Innkeeper: Book 1 — Tidewatch Inn Series 

In a fog-choked harbour city where the dead walk beside the living, one inn stands as neutral ground.

The Tidewatch Inn has sheltered ghosts, necromancers, and uneasy treaties for generations.

And Mara Voss has spent twelve years holding it together.

As a peace-binding necromancer, Mara doesn’t command the dead — she listens to them. Her inn is a fragile sanctuary where ghost residents find rest and rival practitioners agree to leave their wars at the door. But when the wards beneath Tidewatch begin to fracture, Mara discovers that something old is stirring beneath the foundations… and the dead are afraid.

The last person she wants help from is Aldric Crane — the death-house’s most relentless investigator, sent to evaluate the inn and determine whether it should be dismantled.

Aldric believes in order. Mara believes in trust.

The dead believe something worse is coming.

Forced into an uneasy partnership, Mara and Aldric must navigate:

⚰️ A crumbling treaty between necromancers and the dead

👻 Ghost residents with unfinished stories and dangerous truths

📜 A lost founding document that could save the inn — or destroy it

🖤 A slow-burn romance between enemies on opposite sides of necromancy

But as secrets surface and ancient grief presses against the walls, Mara must decide whether the Tidewatch Inn can survive the truth of what it was built upon.

And Aldric must choose between the institution that made him… and the woman rewriting everything he thought he knew about death.
