Ward Against Death by Melanie Card
Chronicles of a Reluctant Necromancer #1
Twenty-year-old Ward de Ath expected this to be a
simple job - bring a nobleman's daughter back from the dead for fifteen
minutes, let her family say good-bye, and launch his fledgling career
as a necromancer. Goddess knows he can't be a surgeon - the Quayestri
already branded him a criminal for trying so bringing people back from
the dead it is.
But when Ward wakes the beautiful Celia
Carlyle, he gets more than he bargained for. Insistent that she's been
murdered, Celia begs Ward to keep her alive and help her find justice.
By the time she drags him out her bedroom window and into the sewers,
Ward can't bring himself to break his damned physician's Oath and desert
her.
However, nothing is as it seems including Celia. One
second, she's treating Ward like sewage, the next she's kissing him. And
for a nobleman's daughter, she sure has a lot of enemies. If he could
just convince his heart to give up on the infuriating beauty, he might
get out of this alive...
