When a tired human roofer gets called out to fix a leaking tower roof, he expects a normal job.

What he gets instead is Thyra?a twelve-foot wolf necromancer who can raise the dead, and is barely holding her crumbling home (and finances) together.

A gentle, low-stakes, character-driven story about a lonely necromancer, a practical tradesman, and the slow warmth growing between them in a drafty old tower with very bad structural integrity.
