The emperor’s rule is crumbling, his empire of islands slipping into rebellion. His power comes from bone shard magic—an art that fuels monstrous constructs and demands a terrible price.
Trapped within the palace, his daughter Lin fights to prove herself worthy of the throne. But her father guards his secrets as fiercely as his empire, and every locked door hides a truth that could destroy them both. To claim her birthright, Lin must master the forbidden magic and face what it truly costs to rule.
Andrea Stewart’s The Bone Shard Daughter launches an unforgettable trilogy of revolution, mystery, and sacrifice. Hailed as “one of the best debut fantasy novels of the year” (BuzzFeed News), it’s a breathtaking blend of power, politics, and peril.
