Daughter of the Bone Forest

"Part fairy tale, part epic fantasy, and part magic school story, Daughter of the Bone Forest is wholly engrossing. It's a fierce, wild-hearted coming of age story about love, loyalty, and staying true to oneself. I absolutely devoured it." - Nicki Pau Preto, Sunday Times bestselling author of Bonesmith and the Crown of Feathers trilogy

An exquisitely crafted tale of tender romance, family loyalty, and the crushing inevitability of adulthood--this book sinks its teeth into you and doesn't let go." - Kylie Lee Baker, author of The Keeper of Night

"Daughter of the Bone Forest is an absolute powerhouse of a debut. In Skye's deft prose, a magic school and living landscapes showcase Daughter of the Bone Forest's beautiful heart: a longing to break free from the roles pushed upon us, to protect those we love, and to hold fast to our convictions and ourselves, even in the direst of circumstances. This is a truly special book, one that readers will be sure to love and one that I will be thinking about for a very long time." - Lillie Lainoff, author of One for All
