There are lots of reasons to raise the dead - some private, some public. In this case, the feds have a witness who died before he could speak on the record. They want him raised so his testimony can be taken. So here I am, on a plane to Philadelphia, flying off to do my job.

But I’m not alone. Micah is with me. Micah, head of the St. Louis wereleopard pard. King to my Queen. The only one of my lovers who can stir my blood with just a glance from his chartreuse cat’s eyes. I was happy to have him at my side.

Until he mentioned that this will be our first time alone together. No Master Vampire. No Alpha Werewolf. Just me and Micah. And all my fears and doubts…

Anita is asked to fill in for fellow animator Larry Kirkland on an animating job in Philadelphia. She needs to raise a federal witness for the FBI so that he can testify.

Anita travels to Philly with Micah at her side. On the trip, Anita learns more about Micah, including how he became a wereleopard.

But when Anita reaches the cemetery to raise the witness, something is wrong. Her necromancy has never reacted like this. Afraid of what she will raise, but powerless to resist, Anita raises the zombie. What will she unleash?
