Durst consistently defies expectations.-- Publishers Weekly (starred review) From award-winning author Sarah Beth Durst, a standalone epic fantasy set in a brand-new world of towering mountains and sparkling cities, in which a band of aging warriors have a second chance to defeat dark magic and avenge a haunting loss.
But evil doesn\'t stop just because someone once said, the end..
Their story should have been finished.
Five warriors--one broken, one gone soft, one pursuing a simple life, one stuck in the past, and one who should be dead.
Maybe the dead don\'t rest in peace after all.
But defying the laws of the land exposes a terrible possibility.
Yet Kreya knows where she can find the bones she needs: the battlefield where her husband and countless others lost their lives.
The dead are burned--as are any Bone workers who violate the law.
She\'d rather live one year with her husband than a hundred without him, but using human bones for magic is illegal in Vos.
But such a task requires both a cache of human bones and a sacrifice--for each day he lives, she will live one less.
Since then, Kreya, the group\'s leader, has exiled herself to a remote tower and devoted herself to one purpose: resurrecting her dead husband.
Only four of the heroes survived.
But victory came at a tragic price.
Twenty-five years ago, five heroes risked their lives to defeat the Bone Maker Eklor--a corrupt magician who created an inhuman army using animal bones.
