Bones of Empire

When magic dies, only the dead hold magic.

Once the empire of Ritakhou was full of magic. But since the Schism, the remaining empire of Rimbaku is but a pale whisper of its former majesty, with barely a fragment of its magic remaining. Now the only source of magic is the Relicant Touch, the power drawn from the aishone, relic bones that are jealously guards and widely coveted.

Kagiri and Noniki leave their small village with a small clutch of aishone and all the hope they can muster, but the world is a larger, more dangerous place than they ever dreamed. They are forced into a dark bargain that may cost them not only their lives, but their souls, and may change the Relicant Empire forever. Their fates intertwine with an emperor, a warrior, a graverobber, and a killer in patterns none of them ever imagined along the way to reshaping an empire, and quite possibly a world.

This is the first book in The Relicant Chronicles, a brand-new fantasy series from international bestselling authors Aaron Rosenberg and Steven Savile. Authors of more than 100 novels, Rosenberg and Savile bring their characteristic flair and world-building to this thrilling new fantasy series.
