From #1 New York Times bestselling author Kathryn Purdie
comes a high-stakes fantasy duology flush with doomed romance and
macabre magic, perfect for fans of Stephanie Garber and Roshani
Chokshi.
Bone Criers are the last descendants of an ancient famille charged with
using the magic they draw from animal bones to shepherd the dead into
the afterlife--lest they drain the light from the living.
Ailesse has been prepared since birth to become their matriarch, but
first she must complete her rite of passage: to kill the boy she's
destined to love.
Bastien's father was slain by a Bone Crier and he's been seeking revenge
ever since. Now his vengeance must wait, as Ailesse's ritual has begun
and their fates are entwined--in life and in death.
