The Song Rising - The Bone Season (Hardback)

The hotly anticipated third book in the bestselling Bone Season series - a ground-breaking, dystopian fantasy of extraordinary imagination

Paige Mahoney, the woman known as The Pale Dreamer has become Black Moth, transforming from rebel leader to underqueen. She has won the bloody scrimmage but the war is just beginning.

For in London’s syndicate there is an uneasy alliance between the Ranthen and the Mime Order who still rule over London's criminal population but with vengeful enemies still at large, the task of stabilising the fractured underworld has never seemed so challenging.

For as the syndicate plots rebellion, Scion’s leaders, aided by their powerful allies, are working to introduce Senshield a deadly technology that spells doom for the clairvoyant community and the world as they know it.

And waiting in the wings, the White Binder, Jaxon Hall, the ultimate trickster, game-player and puppet-master extraordinaire is biding his time to strike.

As the pieces line up, Paige must learn who to trust or she is doomed to fall.

‘An original and enjoyably escapist fictional world. Like so much recent young adult fiction, I suspect this series will appeal to the fearless teenager dwelling within many adults. The ending certainly gripped me to the marrow.’ – The Telegraph
