Bone Crier's Dawn - printed edges - Kathryn Purdie

LOVE IS A CHOICE. IT IS NOT WRITTEN IN THE STARS.

For centuries, the Bone Criers have guided the spirits of the dead, a dangerous mission that requires the sacrifice of their soulmates—the men destined to love them and die. But Ailesse, Sabine, and Bastien are struggling to forge their own path and rewrite the rules of the Afterlife while trying to destroy the bonds that have led to the deaths of many people, including Bastien’s father.

Sabine struggles to maintain her authority as leader of the family—a role meant for her sister—while also fighting to control the violent power of the jackal that lives inside her.

Bastien faces a new dilemma as spirits from the Afterlife threaten the souls of his friends and even the soul of his own father.

Ailesse tries to resist her mother’s siren song when she is called toward her version of the Afterlife. But how can she save her friends if she disappears from their world?

This gripping sequel to Bone Crier's Moon is a story of love, family, and perseverance in which three friends seek the courage and power to shatter the boundary between the living and the dead.
