With a killer on the loose, an enlightened bodysnatcher and a rebellious princess must save the city in this Victorian-inspired historical fantasy with a gritty murder mystery.
"Eerie blood magic, grave-robbing, court intrigue, bitter rivalries, shattered hearts . . . and perhaps the strangest literary mushrooms since Alice in Wonderland." -Dan Stout, author of Titanshade
"Man of Science" Roger Weathersby scrapes out a risky living digging up corpses for medical schools. When he's framed for the murder of one of his cadavers, he's forced to trust in the superstitions he's always rejected: his former friend, princess Sibylla, offers to commute Roger's execution in a blood magic ritual which will bind him to her forever.
With little choice, he finds himself indentured to Sibylla and propelled into an investigation. There's a murderer loose in the city of Caligo, and the duo must navigate science and sorcery, palace intrigue and dank boneyards to catch the butcher before the killings tear their whole country apart.
Full of rich worldbuilding, The Resurrectionist of Caligo blends elements of historical fantasy, gritty noir, and romance into an irresistible page-turner for fans of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell and A Darker Shade of Magic!
