A 3D mockup of MISTRESS OF BONES hardcover with arrows pointing at different things you can find in the book: Multi-pov, bone magic, rapier duels, fickle gods, epic worldbuilding, twists, intrigue, necromancy

Banter? You got it. Weird magic? Heck yeah! Fun worldbuilding? Well, of course. Different kinds of love, romantic and otherwise? Definitely! Two separate, intersecting storylines? Right here, right now. Exploration of souls and greed? Compliments of the house.

like this one about a middling hill in the Appalachians who doesn't want to die. when the Death of Mountains comes for her, they trade story for story to stave off the inevitable. it's been called "good as hell" and "hopeful."
