Science Fiction
When Daniel Blackland was six, he ingested his first bone
fragment, a bit of kraken spine plucked out of the sand
during a visit with his demanding, brilliant, and powerful
magician father, Sebastian. When Daniel was twelve, he
watched Sebastian die at the hands of the Hierarch of
Southern California, devoured for the heightened magic
layered deep within his bones. Now, years later,
Daniel is a petty thief with a forged identity. Hiding amid
the crowds in Los Angeles--the capital of the Kingdom of
Southern California--Daniel is trying to go straight. But
his crime-boss uncle has a heist he wants Daniel to perform:
break into the Hierarch's storehouse of magical artifacts
and retrieve Sebastian's sword, an object of untold power.
For this dangerous mission, Daniel will need a team
he can rely on, so he brings in his closest friends from his
years in the criminal world. There's Moth, who can take a
bullet and heal in mere minutes. Jo Alverado, illusionist.
The multitalented Cassandra, Daniel's ex. And, new to them
all, the enigmatic, knowledgeable Emma, with her British
accent and her own grudge against the powers-that-be. The
stakes are high, and the stage is set for a showdown that
might just break the magic that protects a long-corrupt
regime. Extravagant and yet moving, Greg van Eekhout's
California Bones is an epic adventure set in a city
of canals and secrets and casual brutality--different from
the world we know, yet familiar and true.
