The Bone Ships (The Tide Child #1)

“Excellent. One of the most interesting and original fantasy worlds I’ve seen in years.” —Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author

A brilliantly imagined saga of honor, glory, and warfare, The Bone Ships is the epic launch of a new series from British Fantasy Award winner, RJ Barker.

*British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel, winner

Two nations at war. One prize beyond compare. 

For generations, the Hundred Isles have built their ships from the bones of ancient dragons to fight an endless war. The dragons disappeared, but the battles for supremacy persisted.

Now, the first dragon in centuries has been spotted in far-off waters, and both sides see a chance to shift the balance of power in their favor. Because whoever catches it will win not only glory but the war.

Praise for The Bone Ships:

“Brilliant.” —Robin Hobb

“A vividly realized high-seas epic that pulls you deep into its world and keeps you tangled there until the very last word.” —Evan Winter, author of The Rage of Dragons
