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. But victory came at a tragic price. Only four of the heroes survived.
Since then, Kreya, the group’s leader, has exiled herself to a remote tower and devoted herself to one purpose: resurrecting her dead husband. But such a task requires both a cache of human bones and a sacrifice—for each day he lives, she will live one less.
She’d rather live one year with her husband than a hundred without him, but using human bones for magic is illegal in Vos. The dead are burned—as are any bone workers who violate the law. Yet Kreya knows where she can find the bones she needs: the battlefield where her husband and countless others lost their lives.
But defying the laws of the land exposes a terrible possibility. Maybe the dead don’t rest in peace after all.
Five warriors—one broken, one gone soft, one pursuing a simple life, one stuck in the past, and one who should be dead. Their story should have been finished. But evil doesn’t stop just because someone once said, “the end.”
First sentence: “Kreya always wore her coat with many pockets when she went out to steal bones.”
Ever wonder what happens to the heroes who saved the world from a big bad many years later?
The Bone Maker revisits five heroes—specifically Kreya (the group’s leader)—twenty five years later after they had defeated Eklor, a corrupt bone worker who created an inhuman monstrous army using animal bones. Unfortunately, it’s not a case of happily ever when Kreya’s husband Jentt was killed in the battle with Eklor. Kreya has spent her time exiling herself from everybody and trying to resurrect her dead husband, which comes with a price for every time she attempts it.
These heroes’ stories hasn’t ended because the dead don’t stay dead.
