The Bones of Crystal Sand (Smoke and Shadow #0)
Laura Winter
Raised in Valisea by the Veil Worshippers, Brela escaped the massacre of her shadow kingdom with more than just a Veil shard embedded in her collarbone. Hiding her supposedly-extinct magic is just one of the skills she’s been forced to learn while living in a kingdom where everyone is her enemy. She is the Night Terror assassin, and she will be feared across the forest.
But there is something more underneath the cold assassin. Something deeper than the shadow magic growing inside her. As her guild seeks to control her, Brela searches for more than just answers to her power, and she’ll find it in the most unlikely places… with the most unlikely people.
The Bones of Crystal Sand is a collection of six prequel stories following Brela’s adventures from Valisea and Rooke to the Crystal Desert. Discover how Brela came to be the most feared assassin in the forest, while picking up a few strays along the way.
