"I know you're used to people wanting your power, but gods, Bones, all I want is you."

Bones was born with the miraculous power to heal, but all her gift has brought is death. When she was a child, her older brother trained her to survive, and so she did. The blood on her hands will never wash off.

After finally escaping the ruthless raiders who imprisoned her for twelve long years, Bones is broken, scarred, and desperate for atonement. But rumors of her abilities catch up with her, and she's soon dragged to the northwest mountain stronghold known as the Vault.

Involuntarily drawn to the tight-knit crew who captured her, Bones begins to develop feelings for Trey, a strong, kindhearted man who breaks through her defenses. But Bones is carrying terrible secrets, and menacing forces are hunting her. To let people in is to endanger them.

With a mounting rebellion and enemies closing in on her, Bones must confront questions around love, survival, and what's worth fighting for when all else seems lost.

'Devastatingly good... The last 15%??!! I don't know if I'll ever recover'

'It's been 24 hours and every time I think of it, I tear up'

'A dark post-apocalyptic romantasy gem... Go read it. Then we can be sad together'

'I can't breathe... THIS BOOK HAS GIVEN ME CHEST PAIN'

About the Author

Kelsey Speer is an author and artist who lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota with her husband and two children, but she grew up in the remote mountains of Montana where the story of Bones takes place. With a background in graphic design, she is always creating something. Thanks to that creative spirit, she has explored numerous artistic mediums from embroidery, drawing, her kids' Halloween costumes, painting, digital art, fancy cakes, and changing the color of her hair. But she always comes back to writing.

Kelsey started writing her first novel when she was twelve years old. Tragically the pink floppy disc containing it was lost. Since then, she has started writing many different books, and after finally getting officially diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, she actually finished one.
