“Living bodies are fragile, temporary things.”
Shaken by a brush with death, Kit Mosel and Penny Oliver push forward with their initiation rites. Dark trials edge them closer to uncovering the truth behind the god the cult worships, and what they learn bolsters their resolve to dismantle the Bone Men.
