The Bone Throne
Born illegitimate. Trained an assassin. Crowned a queen.
As an illegitimate princess, I’m bound by duty and betrothed to the crown prince of the House of Tannard, rulers of the nearby realms. However, beneath the royal façade, I serve as a loyal disciple of the formidable Sistern of Silence, the masters of soul voice. The sacred legacy of the death arts, a rare gift, courses through my veins, a heritage from my father’s line.
Upon reaching the distant shores of Tarragona to meet my betrothed, I discover I’ve been manipulated by the Mother of the Sistern. I was chosen to be the future queen for a reason I can’t yet fathom—a reason that could bring catastrophic consequences upon the realms.
As the northern realm’s thirst for power intensifies and its enigmatic Razohan leader aims to reclaim the southern throne and the prized Etherweave, my disdain for my fiancé seems inconsequential, overshadowed by the imminent specter of war.
To protect the House of Tannard and maintain the delicate equilibrium of power, I must delve deeper into the clandestine pillars of the Sistern and awaken the lethal power of the death arts, lying dormant within me.
In a world where treachery and concealed truths dominate, I must remember that in war, love and mercy are luxuries none can afford. I’ve pledged my allegiance to the House of Tannard, rendering the seductive Razohan leader—my persistent shadow—my adversary.
Bound by fate. United by blood. Torn by desire.
Tressya never wanted to be queen, but destiny had other plans. Thrust onto the Tarragonan throne by the scheming Sistern order, Tressya finds her world unraveling. As enemies circle and secrets threaten to control her, an enthralling connection with Tamas, leader of the Razohan shapeshifters, promises passion—and peril.
Tamas is a man torn between duty and desire. Sworn to claim the Bone Throne, his searing bond with Tressya, forged in blood and shrouded in prophecy, makes him an adversary, yet it could be his ultimate undoing.
As the Etherweave stirs and whispers of ‘twain bloodborn’ echo, Tressya and Tamas find themselves locked in a perilous race against time. Each must navigate ancient secrets and treacherous alliances to locate the Etherweave’s hidden tomb, knowing that whoever frees and masters this mighty force first will command the fate of their world.
In a realm where ascending the throne demands a sacrifice and love cuts deeper than any blade, who will reach the Etherweave first? Or will they both be devoured by the very magic they seek to control?
The veil between life and death has shattered.
Instead of claiming the power of the Etherweave, Tressya and Tamas are cast into the Severance, a crumbling realm between life and death where tortured memories become a weapon, truth is a threat, fear becomes flesh, and the dark wears their worst thoughts like skin.
Hunted by venom-born creatures and echoes of a fallen past, they soon realize the Severance is not their enemy. It is their reckoning, exposing every unspoken truth, every unhealed wound, everything secret that is silencing the bond they share. And if they cannot forge something solid and real between them then the Severance will consume them whole.
Beyond the veil, the world is tearing itself apart.
An ancient enemy walks the realm once more.
Tarragona stands leaderless, its throne empty. The Salmun tighten their grip on Tolum, waiting for the arrival of Tarragona’s bitter foe, the Levenians. And in the north, old hatreds run deeper than blood, as the clans cling to prejudice against the Huungardred, the Nazeen, and now the Razohan, refusing to unite beneath a single banner.
Their allies fight to prepare, but the coming war will not wait. And the longer Tressya and Tamas remain trapped between life and death, the more inevitable it becomes: Everyone they love may fall before they ever return.
