The Honey of Departed Things

by Lilly Everen

4.9

Available in: Kindle · Paperback

Every grave in the canal city of Vey wears a hive instead of a headstone — grief, properly rited, can be harvested like honey. Funeral beekeeper Mara Venn has kept her family's garden clean and quiet for twelve years, until memories start disappearing from people who are still very much alive. To find out who's emptying her city, she'll have to work with the one man she swore she'd never forgive: the royal auditor who destroyed her family. A dark, atmospheric romantasy about grief, consent, and what's truly yours to keep.
