Bone Crier's Moon

Bone cutters have an honourable job. Only they can prevent the dead from taking advantage of 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 want a vow of loyalty. The one genuine love of the Bone Criers is sacrificed in order to fulfil that pledge.

From infancy, Ailesse has been primed to become the head of the enigmatic Bone Criers, a family of women who utilise animal bones as sources of power to transport the dead to the afterlife. She must murder the guy she is also destined to love in order to fulfil her rite of passage, however.

Bastien’s father was slain by a Bone Crier and he’s been seeking revenge ever since. His retribution will have to wait till he eventually catches one, however. Now that Ailesse's ritual has started, both of their futures—life and death—are intertwined.

Sabine has never been able to handle the task that the Bone Criers do. But when her best friend Ailesse is taken captive, Sabine will do whatever it takes to save her, even if it means defying their traditions—and their matriarch—to break the bond between Ailesse and Bastien. Prior to their demise.
