Graveborn: The Voidwalker Chronicles #1
About this ebook
When she woke up, the dead wouldn't leave her alone.
The doctors blame head trauma. The spirits crowding her cramped flat know better. And when a stranger pulls her back from walking into traffic whilst following a ghost, Alice discovers the truth: she's a necromancer. The first in nearly two hundred years. The kind that got banned for almost destroying the world.
Now the magical Houses of Northumberland have given her an ultimatum: submit to their control and training, or have her abilities stripped and her memories erased.
Trapped between two mentors who despise each other, Alice must learn to control power that terrifies everyone around her. Callum, the earth witch with rough hands and patient eyes, wants to teach her balance before her magic consumes her. Ronan, the beautiful aristocrat with a vicious streak, pushes her towards the raw power she needs to survive. They hate each other. They're both falling for her. And as the Houses begin plotting to claim her as their weapon, Alice realises she might need them both to stay alive.
Because her abilities are spiralling beyond anyone's expectations. The spirits grow stronger. The dead keep rising across the countryside. And Alice starts to suspect her accident wasn't random at all.
Someone has been waiting for a necromancer like her. Someone who needs what she can do.
And they're done waiting.
Graveborn is the first book in The Voidwalker Chronicles. A slow-burn why choose urban romantasy featuring two morally grey mentors, forbidden necromancy, found family, and a powerless-to-powerful heroine who refuses to be controlled. Perfect for fans of dark academia vibes, rival mentors, and forced proximity.
