Sarah Raughley: The Bones of Ruin Trilogy Paperback Collected Set, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Penny Dreadful meets The Gilded Wolves in this captivating young adult fantasy trilogy set in alternate 1880s London following an immortal African tightrope walker with a destructive destiny—all three books now together in a shrink-wrapped set!

As an African tightrope dancer in Victorian London, Iris is used to being strange. She is certainly an unusual sight for leering British audiences always eager for the spectacle of colonial curiosity. But Iris also has a secret that even “strange” doesn’t capture…

She cannot die.

Haunted by her unnatural power and with no memories of her past, Iris is obsessed with discovering who she is. But that mission gets more complicated when she meets the dark and alluring Adam Temple, a member of a mysterious order called the Enlightenment Committee. Adam seems to know much more about her than he lets on, and he shares with her a terrifying revelation: the world is ending, and the Committee will decide who lives…and who doesn’t.

To help them choose a leader for the upcoming apocalypse, the Committee is holding the Tournament of Freaks, a macabre competition made up of vicious fighters with fantastical abilities. Adam wants Iris to be his champion, and in return he promises her the one thing she wants most: the truth about who she really is.

If Iris wants to learn about her shadowy past, she has no choice but to fight. But the further she gets in the grisly tournament, the more she begins to remember—and the more she wonders if the truth was better left buried.

This breathtaking paperback set includes:
The Bones of Ruin
The Song of Wrath
The Lady of Rapture
