YA
In 1870s Philadelphia, Eleanor suspects her brother has been kidnapped by a necromancer and the reanimated Dead. To rescue him, she teams up with Spirit-Hunters, who possess the magic and technology to destroy the Dead. The lukewarm love triangle of determined Eleanor, wealthy Clarence, and scruffy Spirit-Hunter Daniel only slightly detracts from the compelling blend of magic, zombies, and political conspiracy.
