The Shadowglass
by Rin Chupeco
Book 3 in The Bone Witch
This is the trilogy closer for readers who like their YA fantasy lush, painful, and a little morally wrecked. Tea and Kalen still hurt beautifully, but the book saves its sharpest knife for power, sacrifice, and what love costs when everyone wants a miracle.
