She buried him a decade ago. Now he walks the earth again—and so begins the unraveling of empires.

Queen Ioelena of Hildeheim has ruled through fire and blood, her grief forged into power. But when Connerh—the warrior she once loved and lost—returns from the dead, everything she's built begins to crack. His presence awakens forbidden magic, exposes dangerous secrets, and threatens to reignite a war no one is ready for.

As ancient gods stir and judgment looms, spies whisper through palace halls, giants gather in the dark, and the elves—keepers of justice—begin to move.

Across a fractured realm, queens, traitors, rebels, and monsters must face the cost of what they’ve lost… and what they’re willing to become.

Perfect for readers of dark fantasy, political intrigue, and slow-burn devastation, Thorns, Feathers & Bones is a sweeping, character-driven epic where vengeance wears a crown and love walks with death.

The question isn’t who will survive.

It’s what will remain of them when the gods are done.
