The first volume collects the following three misdeeds:

Stray

Gabrielle Munson takes a busman's holiday to Italy to 'liberate' a necromantic text from the library of a town. Unfortunately, while she's there to steal the book, other burglars kill a librarian. Now Gabrielle is in the hot seat, because she's the only one who has stolen something from the library and both the police and the inquisition are hot on her tail. Will she make it out of the town alive and with the book she risked so much for?

The Tower

Apparently, Gabrielle Munson is not the only family member in disgrace. Two of her cousin arrive in her home town of Marazion, Abigail in disgrace after a very unsuitable relationship was discovered and Jonah forced to go along to keep an eye on her. As Gabrielle introduces them to what passes for society, they follow an invitation which leads to murder, mayhem, and some use of necromantic powers.

The Death Mark

Everything has calmed down for Gabrielle Munson and her cousins in Marazion when a surprise visit of the siblings' father and older brother shakes things up. A curse has been put on the family and another necromancer is working hard on making it come true. Despite her usual principle of not tangling with others in her trade, if it can be avoided, Gabrielle has to go to war to protect those family members she likes.
