Lou Wilham

Adventure? Or a grave mistake? After Beatrice "Bat" Hernan's expulsion from Wynter's Eve Institute she washed her hands of the world of magical academia, and she thought it had done the same to her. She's spent the last several years building a small business, solving hauntings, and generally keeping to herself. The last thing she expects is to get a job she literally can't refuse from the institution that expelled her. Valeska Dracon is a 200-year-old permanent student with a disturbing amount of advanced degrees, and no desire to leave the safety of academia. So when the funding for her department is in danger, and her mentor offers her a way to help, she takes it-however reluctantly. Jace Elwood-yes, those Elwoods-prefers the party scene to hitting the books. How did he get dragged into this mess, you ask? Well, he was clearly thinking with the wrong head. After months of drooling over Valeska in secret, he's offered the chance to accompany her on an expedition, and act as her personal juice box. He'd be a fool not to take it, right? With deadly haunts, killer spirits, and a shady benefactor looming over them, these three might dig up more than just cursed objects. The Tombmates duet is a companion duet to Lou Wilham's Bay of the Dead 'verse books. It is set in the same world, but not in any of the towns of the main set of books. While it will feature appearances by other characters from the Bay of the Dead 'verse it is not necessary to have read the other books to understand this duet.
