Description
When two opposing magical affinities collide, when little girls are kidnapped and someone steps up to rescue them, when the dead raise their voices, when the only necromancer touched by the dark god intervenes... If all of this were ever to happen, without a doubt, it would be the best story a dead man could tell.

- DeidrreRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0As i said in the title its a delightful sidestory of a very good novel. Definitely recommend to read to novel as well, it's called 'I Woke Up as the Villainess's Friend. I Don’t Want to Be the Next Dark Queen' its a moutful but it serves well as word filler for the 50 words count
- KurtulmakRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0A short and poignant side story to "I woke up as the villainess's friend. I don't want to be the next Dark Queen." It covers what would have been one of the protagonists taking a mission to find a lost child with family ties to the undead minions of the main story's protagonist's right hand man.
I think it mostly works as it's own story, and if you somehow stumbled onto this first, consider it a taste of something greater and check out the main story, featuring Bianca. - Nonny96Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0Such a sweet spin off short from your main book, shows such strong feelings off the otome heroine for her friends.
Also what a great way to flesh out the back stories of the skelly friends, and to complete their arcs and allow them to move on in peice.
This last sentence is so I can post😊. - AnCosmRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5This is a small part of a larger story. Be sure to seek out the author's main tale if you decide you like this.
I would class this story as YA aged 16-18. It definitely touches on some darker themes, but handles the material well, and is not too graphic or overly grotesque.
Couched in the trappings of a detective mission, we get to see the main protagonist, Mary, grow to understand that the world is not as simple as black and white, and many things she thought to be true may not be so simply defined.
Along the way, the author adds flesh to some side characters like Bob and Berta and explores the themes of love and loss.
A short but good read.
Would recommend.
