Growing up in Claysville, Rebekkah Barrow watched her grandmother perform an unusual funeral rite—three sips from a silver flask and a whispered blessing—to ease the dead into rest. When Maylene dies, Bek returns home only to discover her grandmother’s death wasn’t natural and that those rituals held darker power.
In Claysville the boundary between the living and the dead is fragile. Graves unguarded can unleash restless spirits into a shadow realm ruled by the enigmatic Charles, known as Mr. D. As the town’s new Graveminder, Bek must master the ancient rites to keep the dead in their graves.
Joined by Byron, the current Undertaker, Bek confronts rising corpses and unearths family secrets. Together they must navigate a world where every burial carries life-or-death consequences, testing their resolve, courage, and unexpected bond.
