Book Synopsis
Introducing a newly reimagined tale written in the vein of The Little Mermaid meeting Hades and Persephone.Bound to steal her queen magical bones, thief Lynne knows only one mistake equals death. And yet, she dreams of living in the forbidden world upon the surface, hating every minute in the Underworld. When she secretly develops a crush on a human, she loses a bone in his realm and has no choice but to strike a deal with the only one who could help-an evil witch. To save her life, she must earn the man's love and bring back the bone in 99 days.
Rio Renero is a notorious gang leader in Chicago and his life has been set to one purpose-to get back at his enemies. With a mysterious, beautiful girl showing up on his doorstep, he sees the solution to his machinations. She offers him a chance at a deadly heist that could destroy all his enemies. In return, he must help her steal a book. What a cinch.
As Lynne and Rio dig deep into a dark net of politics, magic and passion, they need to learn to trust each other.
Review Quotes
"I love a re-telling of a classic story but certain Tales are over done, the little mermaid though? I personally haven't seen it done often and let me tell you, I loved this one." The Bookish Collection
"This book was amazing from start to finish and a slow burn of I've ever read one, but it was worth it! A good balance of action and romance, along with a healthy dose of cunning!" Katie
"This book is said to be a mash up of the little mermaid and Hades and Persephone...but make it new adult. I read this book at the perfect time for me to read this since i just recently read another little mermaid retelling. It was great because I was able to pick up on a bunch of the references from the little mermaid and the Hades x Persephone vibes were great!" Book Briefs
"his was a beautifully haunting book, the characters were what I was hoping for. It did a great job as a beginning to the Bone Thief Saga series. I loved the way the cover was done, it drew me in and I stayed because it was great. I look forward to more in this series." Kat M
