About this listen
"Like stepping into one of my favorite RPGs."—Susan Dennard, New York Times bestselling author of the Witchlands series
An epic, multi-POV debut fantasy, where a necromancer trying to resurrect her sister gets embroiled in bigger, world-ending plans instead
Necromancer Azul del Arroyo only wants one thing: to steal 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 count who begrudgingly works for a child king, a faceless witch who transforms the bones of gods into dreams she can peddle, and a long-lost half-brother with a secret of his own—and soon realize the fate of the lands is hanging in 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’ 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.

Book Riot, "Blockbuster YA Releases for Early 2025"
“Mistress of Bones is a breath of fresh air, with richly layered worldbuilding, complex social dynamics, and morally grey characters you can’t help but root for. Intricately plotted, the enemies-to-lovers romance between Azul del Arroyo and Virel Enjul is spectacular—the tension and chemistry absolutely drips off the page. A masterful debut!”—Keshe Chow, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Girl with no Reflection
"Mistress of Bones features the bold, complex world-building I love most in fantasy. It felt like stepping into one of my favorite RPGs—so many rich details to discover on each page. Not to mention, plenty of characters to root for."–Susan Dennard, New York Times bestselling author of the Witchlands series
"Bone magic, rapier duels, and fickle gods–Mistress of Bones is a masterclass in worldbuilding, with a setting that is wholly original and deliciously atmospheric, and characters that will steal your heart."–Genoveva Dimova, author of Foul Days

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3
Once upon a time, among the bloodred trees of Thirstwood, a young forest princess became friends with a lonely boy from underground. He gifted her an amber ring, a worthless trinket—or so he thought—because no sooner did he slide it onto her finger than the queen of the underground and the forest king declared war. Years later, Cassia is a crucial force in her father’s army, wielding her ring of light that can blind and disorient hundreds of demons at a time. Then battle-hardened Zeru abducts her, planning to steal the ring back to fix his costly childhood mistake.
