“A fascinating world, absolutely delightful characters, and enemies-to-loves romance—this book is one readers will devour before begging for more.” —Tricia Levenseller, New York Times bestselling author of Blade of Secrets

Gideon the Ninth meets the Game of Thrones White Walkers in this dark, “swiftly paced” (Publishers Weekly) young adult fantasy about a disgraced ghost-fighting warrior who must journey into a haunted wasteland to rescue a kidnapped prince.

Ready your blade. Defeat the undead.

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 defense 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 be a valkyr, Wren vows to cross the Breach and rescue him. But to do so, she’s forced into an uneasy alliance with one of the kidnappers—a fierce ironsmith called Julian from the exiled House of Iron, the very people who caused the Breach in the first place…and the House of Bone’s sworn enemy.

As they travel, Wren and Julian spend as much time fighting each other as they do the undead, but when they discover there’s more behind the kidnapping than either of them knew, they’ll need to work together to combat the real danger: a dark alliance that is brewing between the living and the undead.

Loved it!

What a great story. I was sorry to hear it’s end! Interesting magic system, great character development and a touch of romance. I will be getting the next book.

Entertaining

This book was entertaining. The world was interesting. The different “smiths” and their powers was cool. This book is full of magic, betrayals, truths, alliances. I am very intrigued as to how this story is going to go. I did enjoy the “love” story because it wasn’t overdone in the book. The story was more about the bonesmith and the world of the bonesmith.
Audible review: I enjoyed the narrator. Her accent for the main character was entertaining.

Action Packed

This was amazing! From the start, Bonesmith kicks off with betrayal setting the tone for the entire book. This has everything you would want from an epic fantasy, at least in a YA fantasy novel. A daring rescue, fascinating magic system, political intrigue, a headstrong female MC, packed full of action, enemies-to-lovers vibes, and so many twists it'll make your head spin. I devoured Bonesmith.

I will say this felt like an Older YA geared more toward sixteen and up and one of the best YA novels I've read in a while. I'm so mad at myself for not reading this sooner.

Fantastic narration!

This narrator is so good! She uses such different tones and accents for each character that I almost feel like they’re voiced by different people.

I love this book💖

such a refreshing ya fantasy novel. I enjoyed this adventure so much. especially the world building and magic system. love the dark and creepy vibes. I can't wait for the next book.
