Silver in the Bone
by Bracken, Alexandra
Tamsin Lark is a professional hunter of cursed artifacts, navigating a world where Arthurian legend is not just history, but a lethal, lingering reality. When her foster father disappears during a search for a ring of immense power, Tamsin is forced into a dangerous alliance with her rival to track him down. The story moves at a breakneck pace, dragging you through fog-drenched landscapes and forgotten magical ruins that feel both ancient and suffocating. It is a grim, atmospheric ride that treats magic as something that demands a blood price rather than a gift. You will love this if you enjoy stories where the past refuses to stay buried and characters are forced to navigate shifting loyalties while fighting for their own survival in a world that is fundamentally rigged against them.
