Yet such power carries a great cost, and when the revolution reaches the gates of the palace, Lin must decide how far she is willing to go to claim her birthright – and save her people.

Lin is the emperor’s daughter and spends her days trapped in a palace of locked doors and dark secrets. But now his rule is failing, and revolution is sweeping across the Empire’s many islands. The emperor’s reign has lasted for decades, his mastery of bone shard magic powering the animal-like constructs that maintain law and order. Lin, the determined, amnesiac daughter of the Emperor, who is hellbent on uncovering the secrets of bone shard magic and learning the truths of her past, was always a delight to read, and her character development as she realizes the truth of her situation and struggles to overcome her doubts was fantastic. The Bone Shard Daughter marks the debut of a major new voice in epic fantasy.

In an empire controlled by bone shard magic, Lin, the former heir to the emperor will fight to reclaim her magic and her place on the throne.
