About the Book
In a battle against Death and the gods, the game has just begun.
Necromancer Azul del Arroyo only wants one thing: stealing her sister back from Death by reclaiming her sister’s bones. But the Emissary of the Lord Death will do anything to stop her, no matter how alluring he finds her…
As their paths collide, they’re drawn into a deadly game of pawns and power with a scheming court, a faceless witch, and the fate of the lands hanging on the balance.
For long ago the gods raised the continents, binding them with their own bones to keep humanity alive. But in an era when the gods’s sacrifice has been forgotten, Death might not be the only resentful god Azul must defy.
Swashbuckling, grand, and tragically romantic, Mistress of Bones is a can’t-miss start to a duology about love, loss, and, of course, death.
