In a world where the towers of a city are grown from bone, and people live high among the clouds, Kirit desires nothing more than to sail the skies on a pair of wings. But fate places her at the head of a revolution that not only overthrows society but tears her family apart in Fran Wilde’s imaginative fantasy Bone Universe saga.
“It’s especially wonderful to encounter a novel…that reminds me of nothing so much as how wildly, powerfully innovative fantasy can be.”–NPR on Andre Norton Award-winner and Nebula Award finalist Updraft
After the dust settles, the City of living bones begins to die, and more trouble brews beneath the clouds in the companion to the Andre Norton Award-winning novel Updraft.
