"With The Knave of Graves, Shank delivers an entire cosmology in shovelfuls of earth. Cerebral dark fantasy from a terrific storyteller." -- Coy Hall, author of The Owl Men of Shanidar

"An elegantly written historical dark-fantasy filled with heart, humour, and dark magic." -- Suzan Palumbo, author of Countess

Jeppo loathes his hometown and he can scarcely tolerate the townsfolk. Mostly, he despises his life as a gravedigger. He went to the Academy in the south, after all. He was never meant to take up his father's shovel.

When a wicked sorcerer arrives at his gate demanding the bones of the local saint, Jeppo has no objection in principle. But he fears the wrath of the night hag, to whom he has been selling corpses for years.

Jeppo must choose the lesser of two evils, and do so quickly. The spiraling feud threatens to spill innocent blood... and worse still, his darkest secrets.
