Most skeletons guard treasure. Tim got stuck with a baby.

Tim was enjoying the simple afterlife—patrolling his dungeon, scaring adventurers, and dealing with his idiot zombie sidekick, Garth. But when a cursed infant with mismatched eyes is dumped on their doorstep, everything goes to hell.

Now, instead of stabbing heroes, Tim’s stuck stealing cow’s milk, dodging sword-swinging adventurers, and explaining (again) to Garth why babies aren’t snacks. Worse, the kid’s curse is attracting attention—dangerous attention—and if the wrong people find her, it’s game over for all of them.
