Coffee, Crypts, and Curses

This cozy fantasy tale is a heartwarming take on the most misunderstood class in fantasy: the Necromancer.

Dealing with the Dead, one cup of coffee at a time.

Benny Lancaster was supposed to pick a sensible trade, like his uncle’s baking or his aunt’s music. Instead, he made a choice that surprised the whole town: Necromancy.

But studying under Master Lightroot, he soon learns that necromancy isn’t about raising dark armies; it’s a day job. Between shifts at the neighborhood necromancy store and exploring ancient spirit tombs, Benny must prove that his craft isn’t a curse—it’s a way to bring harmony to both the living and the dead.

Join Benny as he settles into a cozy world as the friendly neighborhood necromancer, where masters of dark magic crack jokes as easily as they commune with spirits. You’ll share kitchen tables with eccentric masters and fellow apprentices, and enjoy life in a manor that living residents share with the dead.

Alongside Benny, you’ll learn how to become a necromancer, one cursed lesson at a time.

If you love low-stakes cozy fantasy like Legends & Lattes and Cursed Cocktails mixed with the addictive progression of LitRPG, step into Lightroot Manor in this charming new series from Tom Watts, the bestselling author of Small Town Crafter and Blade’s Rest.
