The Bone Singer

Brought to you by Penguin.

#1 NYT bestseller Abigail Owen delivers The Bone Singer — The Inheritance Games meets Caraval in this propulsive, gothic, slow-burn thriller that will wreck your sleep schedule completely.

Thalia Cross has spent eighteen years learning how to disappear.

Homeschooled on a mountain and warned never to trust the town below, she’s always followed her grandfather’s rules. Stay hidden. Stay quiet. Stay safe.

Then her therapist vanishes.

Drawn into the Colorado wilderness by a voice only she can hear, Thalia finds what’s left behind: bones, arranged too carefully to be an accident. Before she can run, she’s caught by Bram Wilder — her long-time crush and the sheriff’s son — who promptly arrests her for murder.

But Thalia knows what she saw. And she knows what she heard.

As more girls go missing, the whispers get louder. The dead are trying to tell her something. And it’s not just about who killed them.

It’s about her.

Because buried beneath this town is something ancient. Something hungry. And the rules Thalia grew up with weren’t meant to protect her.

They were meant to stop her.
