Call of the Bone Ships

Brilliant - Robin Hobb, author of THE ASSASSIN'S APPRENTICE on THE BONE SHIPS An epic tale of duty and obligation and honour, and what bravery really means . . . can't recommend it enough - Peter McLean, author of PRIEST OF BONES on THE BONE SHIPS Excellent . . . one of the most interesting and original fantasy worlds I've seen in years - Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of CHILDREN OF TIME on the Tide Child trilogy Swashbuckling awesomeness . . . a fascinating world and a twisty plot, both rooted in characters I came to care about. A definite winner - John Gwynne, on the Tide Child Trilogy A viciously exciting adventure. I loved every second of it - Tasha Suri, author of Empire of Sand on THE BONE SHIPS A vividly realised 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, on THE BONE SHIPS The first in the Tide Child trilogy presents a unique and memorable world - harsh and brutal and full of fully-realized, powerful female characters. Barker has managed to craft a story inspired by Moby Dick, Game of Thrones, and pirate lore, and readers will be drawn in and fascinated - Booklist A rip-roaring oceanic adventure, packed with violence and beauty. It's about the beauty of the sea and the brutality of humanity, as well as huge sea monsters and ship-to-ship battles. A perfect storm of fantasy storytelling - Starburst
