Past the dead sea under the watchful eye of Kraken Necropolis ticks on. If you drop your guard down, it will sell you as parts in a heartbeat. It makes its living from dead and dying. No one is safe, not even their necromancer leader, Petula Upwood. She’s fighting to stay alive and relevant. The Necromantic Council lurks behind her every decision. They think they own her and can rule her life and death.

Otis, the last maker of the machine of all machines—the one that can make your any wish come through, is locked in the Council’s basement. Everyone is after him. Petula too. Who gets him and his machine will rule Necropolis and the world.

The Council of the Dead is a political satire about greed, the Industrial Revolution, and unlike friendships set in Necropolis, where gargoyles are the surveillance force, ghouls the great philosophers, and the living willingly cheat and murder to stay ahead of … what — none one really knows. Contains witches, undead, and Mrs. Maybury.
