It's a chance for a better life for Negro girls like Jane. After all, not even being the daughter of a wealthy white Southern woman could save her from society's expectations.But that's not a life Jane wants. Almost finished with her education at Miss Preston's School of Combat in Baltimore, Jane is set on returning to her Kentucky home and doesn't pay much mind to the politics of the eastern cities, with their talk of returning America to the glory of its days before the dead rose.But when families around Baltimore County begin to go missing, Jane is caught in the middle of a conspiracy, one that finds her in a desperate fight for her life against some powerful enemies.And the restless dead, it would seem, are the least of her problems.Please note that this book has deckle edges (the edges of the paper are purposely rough).GenresHistorical FictionYoung AdultFantasyHorrorZombiesHistoricalFictionAlternate HistoryDystopia
