Two Necromancers, a Dragon, and a Vampire (The Unconventional Heroes, #3)

by L.G. Estrella

People should never, ever underestimate a necromancer with the time to plan and enough patience to do the right research.

He was hoping the pirate ships still had their flags because if they did, he’d be able to tick off another one of the things he’d dreamed of doing as a child – command a fleet of zombie pirates.

Ah, this was one of the great joys of being a necromancer. Nobody ever expected much from him and then – bam! Zombie hydra-griffin!

The group he’d met was simply too quirky and weird to be held together by anything except for genuine friendship and loyalty.

he’d gotten quite attached to his precocious apprentice and all of the people who’d moved into his castle. They were weird, sure, but they were his kind of weird.

there was no point in letting perfect become the enemy of good. In other words, it wasn’t always possible to come up with a perfect plan. Sometimes, they had to be happy with simply having a good one.
