The Bone Ship's Wake

In The Bone Ship's Wake, the breathtaking conclusion to RJ Barker's sweeping fantasy trilogy, Joron Twiner is thrust into an epic struggle against fate. Captaining the warship Tide Child and leading a dwindling Black Fleet, Joron is a man driven by loss and the burning desire for retribution. As he takes fierce action against his adversaries, the prophecy that foresees the world's end looms ominously over him and the enigmatic avian sorcerer, the Windseer.

Joron battles not only his enemies but also the relentless march of Keyshan's Rot within his own body. Caught in a race against time and the encroaching curse, he must navigate treacherous waters to uncover whether he can alter his destined path. With the miraculous return of the majestic sea dragons, hopes of salvation seem glimmer; if one miracle is possible, who can deny the possibility of another?

The richly-detailed universe of the Tide Child Trilogy is filled with harrowing sea battles, complex characters, and the search for redemption amidst war. Barker masterfully crafts a world where the sea is as much a character as those who sail upon it, setting the stage for Joron's final, gripping journey.
