Description

The second book in the all-new Golden Court romantasy trilogy.
A secret song. A hidden fortress. A world on the brink of war.

Royal guard Sadie Rauxtide has been grappling with how shell fit into the Golden Court, after the long, tyrannical reign of the evil sorceress has finally ended. But all thoughts of peace are lost when rival Wolf king Nero kidnaps the new Queens friend and mentor, Ora.

Sadie along with Navin and Maez are tasked with discovering Neros secrets. Yet Navin is hiding things too, and Sadie must uncover them, all while battling her growing attraction to the man who betrayed her. She may have a mission, but the heart wants what it wants and fate has its own magic.

Meanwhile, Queen Calla is forced to seek help from the Ice Wolf packs queen to stop Neros prejudicial rule. But when she repeatedly dismisses Callas new gender identity and is unwilling to help rescue Ora, Calla must battle between diplomacy and being their true self.

As war brews and Sadie and Calla struggle to gain support, the pair will discover that the world of Aotreas is more than it seems.

Reviews

Reviews for A River of Golden Bones

'The relationship between Calla and these performers becomes the most compelling part of the book, giving rise to questions about gender and the difference between a protector and a tyrant. Defeating evil is important, surebut the real thrill is finding people who make you want to be your fullest self. Its lovely, life-affirming stuff.'

Washington Post on A River of Golden Bones

'I was taken by the expert dismantling of the gender binary amidst a quest that is sexy, romantic, and heroic all at once.'

Book Riot on A River of Golden Bones

'A steamy romance between Calla and Grae unfolds amid battles against monsters and dark magic, intertwined with Callas fight against patriarchy and oppression and her burgeoning acceptance of her own genderqueerness. This series is off to an exciting start.'

Cait Jacobs, author of Medievally Blonde

'I inhaled this novel. A River of Golden Bones by A.K. Mulford is a gorgeously written queer fairytale fantasy conjured with the bones of wicked worldbuilding and laced with decadent spice. Get ready to devour this wolfish tale.'
