The Wicked & The Dead

More about the book

Set in a near-future New Orleans, the story follows Geneviève Crowe, a skilled beheader of the dead, as she navigates a world inhabited by draugar—again-walkers who become more dangerous with age. Initially, these creatures possess only shambler-like qualities and bite, but they grow faster and stronger once they reach a century. Geneviève's profession stems from the desire to prevent loved ones from becoming these formidable beings, highlighting her unique role in a society grappling with the undead.
