Description
In Saskia's world, bones are the source of all power. They tell the future, reveal the past, and expose secrets in the present. On the day of her kenning-a special bone reading that determines apprenticeships-Saskia's worst fears come true. She receives an assignment to train as a Bone Charmer, like her mother, and even worse, a match-making reading that pairs her with Bram-a boy who has suspicious tattoos that hint of violence. Saskia knows her mother saw multiple paths for her, yet chose one she knew Saskia wouldn't want. Their argument leads to a fracture in one of the bones, and the break has devastating consequences-Saskia's future has split as well. Now she will live her two potential paths simultaneously. Only one future can survive. And Saskia's life is in danger in both.
