Waking as a sentient Skeleton in a necromancer's dungeon, Charles doesn't have the guts to reckon with his new lot in life. Or the eyes, or the skin...or any other organ, really. But death might just be the thing to convince him to start truly living. Setting out into the world with a bag of treasure over his shoulder and a mysterious mentor behind him, Charles reinvents himself as "Chadwick Bonesbury'', charming and eccentric aristocrat, and starts off on the road to financial and social success.

Along the way he'll ruffle feathers and bruise egos in his quest to get rich and make a name for himself. He's not too proud to dispense a little wisdom along the way, advisable or not, from the best way to choose tacky decor, to how to rally your eclectic staff of weirdos. And, if you pay close attention, you might just learn how one can succeed in the field of Skeleton Business!
