She's fated to die. He's the bringer of death. Together they'll restore a divided kingdom, or burn it to the ground in this electrifying romantasy steeped in Norse mythology by million-copy bestseller L. J. Andrews.

The only thing Lyra has understood about her magic is that she must keep it secret.

But when she's forced to reveal her abilities to save her family, she is found to possess the rarest magic and is claimed by the crown as their Bone Melder.

To be the Bone Melder is a death sentence, and Lyra is determined to free herself and take revenge for the persecution of her people. Starting with the silent, brooding guard — Roark Ashwood.

The more she plots, the closer she is drawn to Roark, and a forbidden passion grows and exposes a deadly truth that will either bring freedom for them both or destroy everything.

Broken Souls and Bones explores themes of magic, destiny, and love, all intertwined in a gripping narrative that will captivate readers who are drawn to powerful storytelling and rich world-building.
