THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Ready your blade. Defeat the undead.


Gideon the Ninth meets the Game of Thrones White Walkers in this dark young adult fantasy about a disgraced ghost-fighting warrior who must journey into a haunted wasteland to rescue a kidnapped prince.

In the Dominions, the dead linger, violent and unpredictable, unless a bonesmith severs the ghost from its earthly remains. For bonesmith Wren, becoming a valkyr - a ghost-fighting warrior - is a chance to solidify her place in the noble House of Bone and impress her frequently absent father. But when sabotage causes Wren to fail her qualifying trial, she is banished to the Border Wall, the last line of defence against a wasteland called the Breach where the vicious dead roam unchecked.

Determined to reclaim her family''s respect, Wren gets her chance when a House of Gold prince is kidnapped and taken beyond the Wall. To prove she has what it takes to

Trade Review
I've been dying for a YA novel with unique magic, and Bonesmith delivered it on a ghostly-green platter. With a fascinating world, absolutely delightful characters, and enemies-to-lovers romance - this book is one readers will devour before begging for more. * Tricia Levenseller *
[An] eerie atmospheric read packed with action and betrayal * Rebecca Schaeffer *
Gripping and action-packed in its plot, tender yet fierce in its romance, haunting and gritty in its worldbuilding, Bonesmith is a dark fantasy thrillride from start to finish. Wren Graven is the perfectly stubborn, witty, and courageous heroine to navigate a world of ghosts and undead that will remain with readers long after the last page * Amélie Wen Zhao *
Action-packed from the start ... not for the faint hearted * ReadingZone *
[A] combination of swords and sorcery with a teenage goth aesthetic (death! ghosts! eyeliner!) . . . and it's nice to see you can still come up with an original approach to magic in this day and age. The plot is taut and - once in motion - doesn't let up * Concatenation.org *
