The tale of the Tide Child comes to an end in The Bone Ship’s Wake, a brilliantly imagined saga of honor, glory, and warfare by British Fantasy Award-winning author, RJ Barker.

Joron Twiner’s dreams of freedom lay shattered. His Shipwife is gone and all he has left is revenge. Leading the black fleet from the deck of Tide Child, he takes every opportunity to hurt the Hundred Isles he is given. But his time is limited.

His fleet is shrinking, the Keyshan’s Rot is running through his body, and he hiding from a prophecy that says he and the avian sorcerer, the Windseer will end the entire world.

“The Bone Ships is a viciously exciting adventure. I loved every second of it.”– Tasha Suri, author of Empire of Sand

“[T]he novel feels like one of Patrick O’Brian’s richly detailed sagas of seamanship…a very promising beginning.”– Publishers Weekly on The Bone Ships

“I absolutely loved it. A whole lot of swashbuckling awesomeness by RJ Barker. He has crafted a fascinating world and a twisty plot, both rooted in characters I came to care about. A definite winner for me.”– John Gwynne, author of Malice on The Bone Ships

“An epic tale of duty and obligation and honour, and what bravery really means… I can’t recommend it enough.”– Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones on The Bone Ships

“Simultaneously gritty and full of a sense of wonder, The Bone Ships is the perfect adventure for anyone who’s ever had dreams of the sea-or of dragons … an excellent book for any reader in search of a fantastical journey.”– BookPage on The Bone Ships
