The Scattered Bones

De: Nicole Scarano

Narrado por: Kristin Atherton

"I will love you until I am nothing but dust, and even then, I'll still love you."

When a mysterious man known only as The Stranger promises to return Kaid to her, Sellah is tasked with finding each one of her love's scattered bones, his severed body hidden in the darkest corners of the realm. The quest is an impossible task, yet she must make the dangerous journey alone using only her faith and fight. But the tasks at hand are brutal. They're battles not easily won.

Sellah doesn't care how treacherous the challenges are. She'll do whatever it takes because it was her fault Kaid was punished. Promised to the primordial goddess as a child, it was Sellah's sacred duty to remain pure and untouched. To be chosen as the goddess' vessel was the highest honor, one Sellah devoted her life to until the handsome thief Kaid broke into the temple. He obliterated her world, rewriting her future, and despite her vows, she couldn't resist the beautiful longing that ignited between them. Their forbidden friendship bloomed into a doomed romance, sending her and her beloved thief down a dark path of heartbreak, unspeakable danger, and a love that not even death could conquer.

The Scattered Bones is a dark fantasy romance where reverse Orpheus and Eurydice meets the Lord of the Rings with female-driven video game-style quest vibes. It's filled with epic quests, slow-burn forbidden romance, fantasy gods, dangerous landscapes and beasts, found family, heartbreak, triumph, and a love that gives the heroine the strength to survive.

love eternal!

This book was amazing! it left me wanting more about them and their daughter's lives.

Loved the story

A very unique story with great characters. Well worth reading. I finished it in a day. Really liked the narrator.

Devastatingly beautiful

Be still my heart. This was written beautifully. The narration could not be more perfect and the story itself was stunning. Cannot recommend this enough.

10000% YES!!!

Loved this book. It is in my top 5 reads for this year. I will be recommending Scattered Bones to all my book reader friends. It is beautiful, emotional and the pace is spot on. The narration is outstanding! Do not wait, run and grab this story. 💕

Perfect standalone

The beginning you might literally feel like you are also wandering. But when the pieces come together. Perfection

Beautiful

I loved this from beginning to end! Loved how it went back and forth between the past and present. Epic love story! The longing for each other. The tension. Great read.

Speechless

This audiobook was amazing!! The story is flawless and heartbreakingly beautiful!! Kristin Atherton is brilliant as always!

Beyond Amazing

The only problem I have is that it wasn't longer. I was sucked into this from the first moment, the world building, character development and overall plot action romance. "I don't love you" Quote of the century and lets not get started on the narrator PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!!! 100 out of 10

Easy to listen to & very unique

Great story with a quick start and consistent pacing. I have a hard time getting into books, especially if they move slow. No such problems with this one. Liked the characters and their relationships with one another, it was a unique storyline and not too trope-y (I’m a fan of several tropes but they do get repetitive!).

NEW FAVORITE BOOK!

Con: That there isn't more, like a series or something. Look, I NEVER leave reviews.
