Echoes of Blood & Bone

***Winner of the International Impact Book Award (Fantasy) 2025***

Sometimes the darkness is safer than the light...

A Key.
Mina is being followed. She's felt eyes tracking her for days. On her college campus, at the haunted house where she works for extra cash...Whoever it is, she can feel their intent vacillating between two different kinds of need--hunger and desperation. She's always had uncanny intuitions about people. Intuitions her English professor father always warns her to keep to herself. It's his one rule. Act normal at all costs. Tell no one. But it seems to Mina that someone already knows. And it might be too late to run.

An immortal.
Enoch has searched the human realm for more than two thousand years for the Keys to unlock the Barrier. Seven Keys. Seven bloodlines of the original humans who cast the spell that rent the world in two. He needs one more. Now, finally, he has found her. A college student. Untrained. Unaware of who she really is. His desperation for what she can help him accomplish grows by the day, but he has to be careful. Enoch is not the only one after her. And he's not the only one watching...waiting.

A broken heart.
Alejandro had the world at his feet until he was twelve. One night, two deaths, and everything changed. Now, his ambitious mother drags him secretly across an ocean to meet a girl he's never even heard of. Mamá says the power Mina contains as a Key could be enough...enough to bring back the one person who means anything to Alejo. But using Mina's power for this kind of magic may mean taking her life. After meeting her, Alejo isn't sure it's a fair trade anymore.

And a ghost.
Elyse has been friends with Mina Voorsanger since who knows when. She's always thought her friend was a little weird, but Mina's ability to decipher Elyse's intentions when no one else can means Elyse is ride or die for that bitch. Ride or die. She always thought that was just an expression. Of course, the world would go ahead and prove her wrong.
