The book conjures a vivid world full of supernatural mysteries, forbidden magic, and dark secrets lurking beneath the glittering surface.

If you found the secret Order's rituals and the shadowy realms of magic in Gemma's world fascinating, The Bone Season delivers an equally evocative and enigmatic magic system. Paige Mahoney, a clairvoyant, is thrust into a world where supernatural powers are forbidden and dangerous, making every use of magic fraught with risk and uncertainty.
