Ailesse and her friends change the afterlife in the
gripping conclusion to the fantasy duology that began with Bone Crier’s Moon
from
New York Times bestselling
author Kathryn Purdie—perfect for fans
of Stephanie Garber and Roshani Chokshi. Now available in paperback.
Love is a matter of life and death.
Bone Criers have been ferrying the dead into the afterlife
for centuries, a dangerous duty only possible with the powers they gain from
sacrificing their
amourés
, the men destined to love them and die. But
Bone Criers Ailesse and Sabine—along with Ailesse’s love, Bastien—are working
to chart their own course and rewrite the rules of the afterlife. If they don’t
break the soul bond between Ailesse and her
amouré
, she could die—just
as Bastien’s father did.
Sabine
struggles to maintain her authority as
matrone
of her
famille
—the role always destined for her sister—even as she
fights to control the violent jackal power within her.
Bastien
is faced with a new dilemma as the spirits of
the Underworld threaten the souls of his friends—and his father.
Ailesse
attempts to resist her mother’s siren song as
she’s drawn into her own version of the Underworld. How will she save her
friends once she’s cut off from their world?
This pulse-pounding follow-up to
Bone Crier’s Moon
is
a story of love, sisterhood, and determination as three friends find the
courage and power to shatter the boundary between the living and the dead.
