The Bone Witch
Category: the bone edge
Riveting and atmospheric, The Bone Witch is the start of a dark fantasy trilogy, perfect for fans of Serpent & Dove and The Cruel Prince. This story of scorned witches, sinister curses, and resurrection has been praised as a "fantasy lover's fantasy" by Foreword Reviews.
When Tea accidentally resurrects her brother, Fox, from the dead, she learns she is different from the other witches in her family. Her gift for necromancy means that she's a bone witch, a title that makes her feared and ostracized by her community. However, Tea finds solace and guidance with an older, wiser bone witch, who takes Tea and her brother to another land for training.
In her new home, Tea puts all her energy into becoming an asha—one who can wield elemental magic. But dark forces are approaching quickly, and in the face of danger, Tea will have to overcome her obstacles…and make a powerful choice.
Chupeco's latest excels in originality, with Publishers Weekly praising the author for "balancing an intimate narrative perspective with sweeping worldbuilding, crafting her tale within a multicultural melting pot of influences." Buzzfeed echoes this sentiment, stating that "Chupeco delights us with a fascinating world and a rich atmosphere for a story that is exceptionally written from beginning to end."
Readers who enjoy immersing themselves in detail will revel in Chupeco's finely wrought tale, which Booklist compares to Game of Thrones, with Tea gathering a daeva army to unleash upon the world. Whether she is in the right remains a question unanswered, but the ending makes it clear her story is only beginning.
The Bone Witch Trilogy offers a compelling blend of dark fantasy, diverse representation, and captivating worldbuilding that will appeal to adult and teenage readers alike. With its rich atmosphere and original premise, this series is a must-read for fans of witch novels, dark fantasy, and stories with multicultural influences.
