The Corpse Queen

In 1850s Philadelphia, seventeen-year-old Molly Green's life at the orphanage takes a dark turn when her best friend, Kitty, is found mysteriously drowned. Soon after, Molly is sent to live with a long-lost aunt, a woman who has amassed a fortune through a clandestine trade: robbing graves to supply medical students with cadavers for their anatomy lessons. As Molly becomes entangled in her aunt's macabre business, she finds herself drawn to the forbidden world of anatomical study, a realm typically closed to women.

Amidst the shadows of graveyards and the hushed halls of forbidden learning, Molly's pursuit of knowledge and a desire to uncover the truth behind Kitty's death intertwines with a growing danger. With a murderer stalking the city, she must navigate a treacherous path where ambition and the secrets of the dead could lead to her undoing.
