The bookish box: Bone Smith by Nicki Pau Preto (Hardcover)

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Ready your blade. Defeat the undead. Gideon the Ninth meets the Game of Thrones White Walkers in this dark young fantasy about a disgraced ghost-fighting warrior who must journey into a haunted wasteland to rescue a kidnapped prince. In the Dominions, the dead linger, violent and unpredictable, unless a bonesmith severs the ghost from its earthly remains. For bonesmith Wren, becoming a valkyr - a ghost-fighting warrior - is a chance to solidify her place in the noble House of Bone and impress her frequently absent father.
