About

Edward Crewe

Edward Crewe writes literary fantasy. The Bone Trials is his first novel. He lives by the sea.

The series


The Hollow Crown is set in a dying empire where four immortal fae courts have waited eight hundred years for a fifth throne to be filled.

When a wild mortal claims the hollow throne — not by birthright, not by conquest, but because the Heartwood recognises her — the forest begins, against every working, to wake.

The Bone Trials is Book One. The Wife of War is Book Two. More is in progress.

Letters from Vesserath

The year Mira spent learning to be queen, her sister was at Vesserath, growing up.

Wren wrote to her often — through the monthly rides south, through the bindings, through the working. Three of those letters survive.

They are not in this book or the next. They are a small thing on their own — fifteen years old in the first letter, sixteen by the last, the three-squeeze code closing each one a little differently.
