Synopsis
They alone can keep the dead from preying on the living. But their power to ferry the spirits of the dead into goddess Elara's Night Heavens or Tyrus's Underworld comes from sacrifice. The gods demand a promise of dedication-at the cost of the Bone Criers' one true love. Ailesse has been prepared since birth to become the matriarch of the Bone Criers. But first she must complete her rite of passage and kill the boy she's also destined to love. Bastien's father was slain by a Bone Crier and he's been seeking revenge ever since. But his vengeance comes too late. Ailesse's ritual has begun and now their fates are entwined- in life and in death. Sabine has never had the stomach for the Bone Criers' work. But when her best friend, Ailesse, is taken captive, Sabine will do whatever it takes to break the bond between Ailesse and Bastien. Before they all die. The first pulse-pounding novel in a new duology from the New York Times bestselling author of Burning Glass shines with doomed romance, macabre magic, and a betrayal with the power to shatter the boundary between the living and the dead.
