Description
In an alternate post–Civil War America, the dead have risen, and the nation’s survival depends on young people trained to fight them. Jane McKeene, a sharp and determined Black teenager, is preparing at a combat school to become an Attendant—skilled in both weaponry and the social graces required to protect wealthy families. When she is drawn into a dangerous assignment beyond the school’s walls, Jane encounters threats that challenge not only her fighting abilities but also the rigid racial and class order shaping her world. Blending historical fiction, horror, and social commentary, this propulsive novel explores survival, identity, inequality, and the cost of freedom.
