Framed for magical crimes, a teenage necromancer from the 80s must navigate a twenty-first century world of secrets in this "fast paced fantasy mystery" (Kirkus Reviews).
In 1986, at the age of fifteen, Finn Gramaraye was framed for committing dark necromancy. He was sentenced to twenty-five grueling years as a disembodied soul in the Other Realm. Now he's finally back—in a body that's decades older, and a world that has moved on from cassette tapes and Miami Vice. But some things haven't changed all that much . . .
Finn quickly stumbles on the body of the woman he was accused of attacking all those years before, freshly murdered with necromancy—another perfect frame job. Now, with the Arcane Enforcers closing in, he needs find out who is so desperate to keep him out of the mortal world.
Finn is joined by Zeke, a former Arcane Enforcer and fellow exile seeking to prove himself worthy of returning to duty—even if that means proving Finn guilty. Together, they will battle magical creatures, family drama, and the challenges of Finn's love life as they race to solve the mystery of who wants Finn returned to exile, and why.
