In a quasi Victorian world, where demons and ghosts and other creatures live alongside humans and the dead rarely stay dead for long, sixteen year old Raiden Feralis wants one thing - to find out who murdered her mother and why.
When a man dies in similar circumstances, she thinks she might finally find out the truth. But someone is stalking her through a magic mirror. Someone who will go to any lengths to stop her.
Bones and Ashes is the first book in a new, young adult dark fantasy series.
When I realized a few pages in that main characters had people bound to them in servitude AFTER DEATH and kept them as such by using relics (body parts) I was was very put off by even the idea of a person not even being able to escape slavery in death....I went no further and deleted it from both of my devices. I could even really care less about the rest of it. Even the thought of this is shameful and abhorrent to me and anyone that justifies it even in fiction is the same. I said what I said.
