A Necromancer Called Gam Gam by Adam Holcombe

SFINCS

A grandmotherly necromancer seeking resolution for her past with the help of her loyal entourage: an undead cat and a spectral knight. A girl on the run from the Eternal Empire for the mysterious power she possesses. When a chance encounter pulls them together, Gam Gam will do what it takes to protect Mina from the rogue sergeant hounding her–including raising the dead. As long as they're dressed for the occasion.

Loved the magic system, having an elderly female protagonist and how the story twists the 'evil necromancer' trope backwards to something positive. The writing is simplistic which was a bit of an issue for me, but it was still a fun read.
