Overview

No one escapes their Final Obligation. Theo hunts those who try. Within the walled city of DehantaPolis, all souls are destined for incineration. The governing power corporation calls it divine duty. The spiritual call it sacrilege. But one thing is certain: no citizen escapes their Final Obligation. Theo scours the wilderness for those who try, finding anyone who died outside city limits and wrenching their essence from their cold flesh. Retrieval is grim work, but her options are limited, and rent is always due. Nearly a year after her terminally ill husband fled, abandoning Theo and denying the city his spirit, Theo picks up his trail. Armed with her soul-rending musical instruments and a volatile grief, she sets out to claim his soul for herself. As Theo presses further into the wilds than ever before, she unearths something far more sinister than her husband's decaying corpse. Torn between love, revenge, and a truth that could collapse her city, Theo must decide between what is right and the retribution she craves. PolyCorpse is a dystopian novel inspired by music, 90s technology, and necromancy. Equal parts magical and morbid, fans of The Invocations and Gideon the Ninth will feel at home with this dark book.
