Infusing Celtic legend into science fantasy... Despite being mortal enemies, a saint and her disgraced former commander must solve the mystery of a failing sky and find the missing children of their shattered world.

A panel of the artificial sky has fallen; a market town below suddenly destroyed. And while everyone on the Emerald-this small garden world of Shattered Earth-wishes to celebrate Yuletide, nobody knows if their entire sky is now about to fail.

Saint Alexandra, devout judge-errant, has been deployed to investigate. Find the true cause, and she'll keep the lives of her people safe, including that of her custodial squire.

Scrounger, disgraced former commander, has been assigned to salvage the ruined town. While secretly looting instead, he discovers three of its boys are still missing. Find them, and he may be able to restore some semblance of lost honor.

Resolve the failing sky. Find the lost children. Challenging tasks for both, as they must navigate lab-brewed monsters, enemy saints, and all manner of thieves and mercenaries gathered at this year's Yuletide festival... all while harboring resentment for past crimes inflicted upon one another.

What early readers are saying:

  • Dark, high fantasy, rich character-driven plot and intricate worldbuilding, Bolted to the Bone was a twisted, dystopian treat from start to finish.
  • This is true epic fantasy at its finest... If you like traditional old-school fantasy, and if you like D&D vibes, this is gonna be for you all the way.
  • I haven't read a long epic fantasy novel in a while - this was a great choice with which to return. I will be telling every friend I have that enjoys sci-fi/fantasy to put Bolted to the Bone on their list.
  • This book is Celtic mythos meets the tech of Warhammer 40k meets Chicken Little (the movie) in the best way I can imagine.
  • This was exciting, heartbreaking and an overall amazing read!
