The Resurrectionist and the Hollow Crown

by Rachel Lawson

Meet Frederick the Great: magician, emperor, and the universe’s most determined escape artist—from death itself.

In this gothic fantasy collection, Rachel Lawson charts the wild, tragicomic saga of Fred as he navigates galactic politics, bizarre press scandals, and the supernatural costs of resurrection. With his unruly family—including grim reaper sons and time-traveling alter egos—Fred’s journey unfolds in tales both haunting and hilarious, crowned by loyalty, legacy, and a crown that might be more ghost than gold.

For readers who love witty world-building, emotionally layered characters, and speculative satire with heart, The Resurrectionist and the Hollow Crown offers a royal dose of magic, mischief, and metaphysical mayhem.
