Heart of Bone

In this dark fantasy, two young Singers compete to become the next Bonesinger—but in a ruthless contest where only one can survive, they run the greater risk of breaking their hearts instead.

Set in a quiet, dread-filled world, this debut is perfect for fans who loved the haunted atmosphere of The Knight and the Moth and the crackling chemistry of Divine Rivals.

Tatum has been keeping it together for the sake of her mother ever since her father’s mysterious disappearance. She hides her true power under a layer of simmering anger; as a Ruinsinger, she can hear the songs of bones begging to be broken. When her deadly secret is uncovered, she’s whisked away by a would-be criminal claiming that she has been selected as the Bonesinger’s heir.

Atticus is a healer with dreams of escaping his village and exploring the world. To avoid those who revile his kind, he must keep his Mendsinger abilities a secret from everyone, save for his family. Under the cover of night, he sneaks out to heal the sick by manipulating their bonesong—until his family’s lives are threatened and he’s snatched away by a servant of the Bonesinger.

Both are brought to the Bonesinger’s manor. Both are forced to compete to earn the power promised to them. And only one can survive.

There’s nothing but heartbreak awaiting them should they defy the ancient Bonesinger, but in a world where Singers are scorned, victory might be as treacherous as failure.
