The Graves Crew and the Restless Dead — Kenneth McDonald

Graves has served in the Duke's army for over a decade. His job is to put people in the ground, but only after someone else has done the hard work of killing them first. His crew of misfits and rejects is used to laboring without the prospect of wealth or glory, but in the aftermath of one particularly costly battle they find themselves facing more than they bargained for when the dead decide that they don't want to stay in the ground. Graves and his diggers have to quickly discover new skills they didn't know they had just to survive.
