Rest of description

Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2025 By: Goodreads * Barnes & Noble * Screen Rant * The Nerd Daily * Paste Magazine * Book Riot

Everything is about to change.

Paige Mahoney is outside the Republic of Scion for the first time in more than a decade-but she has no idea how she got to the free world. Half a year has been wiped from her memory.

Her journey back to the revolution soon takes her to Venice, where the Domino Programme has uncovered evidence of a secret Scion plan. Before Paige can return to London, she must help the network unravel the sinister Operation Ventriloquist, which threatens to bring Europe to its knees in weeks.

And it soon becomes clear that the one person who could recover her memories-Arcturus Mesarthim-might also hold the key to thwarting Scion, allowing the revolution to strike an unprecedented blow . . .

With its intricate worldbuilding, slow burn romance, and "complex, ever evolving, scrappy yet touching" (NPR) heroine, the Bone Season series shows Samantha Shannon at the height of her considerable powers.

Book 6 of 6 listed

PendingGoes on sale 23 Feb 2027

Infiltrate a dystopian New York run by both gods and monsters as Paige Mahoney takes the fight against Scion across continents in the sixth book of the New York Times bestselling fantasy series, The Bone Season.

Rest of description

The world has been plunged into chaos. Beyond the Republic of Scion, humans now know that gods walk among them.

After months abroad, Paige Mahoney is ready to reunite with Arcturus and finish the fight they started together. Before returning to Scion, they accept an invitation from the Ranthen, who are choosing their new leader in Iceland – only for the night to end in violence.

Forced to go on the run through the unforgiving Alps, the labyrinths of Lyon and beyond, Paige must now solve the mystery of her own existence – and the origins of clairvoyance – to save the revolution. Alliances will be tested, hearts will be shattered, and ancient truths will be unearthed.

Sweeping, suspenseful and emotionally charged, the sixth instalment Bone Season novel cements Samantha Shannon as a master of epic storytelling as the series hurtles towards a breath-taking finale.
