Book One · The Hollow Crown

The Bone Trials

Mira Solenne is twenty-two years old, and her sister has been dying for two years, three months, and eleven days. When she is summoned to the fae court of Bone to compete in the Trials — a contest no mortal has ever survived — she goes for one reason: the winner is granted a single wish.

She does not expect to live.
She does not expect to be trained by the crown prince who has been ordered to kill her.
She does not expect the trial-keepers to be afraid of what she is.

The Bone Trials is the first book of The Hollow Crown.

“She does not expect to live. She does not expect the man ordered to kill her. She does not expect what the fae of Bone are afraid of, when they look at her.”

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.
